Vespasian, AE sestertius, AD 71. Rome mint. 33.8 mm, 23.49 g. IMP CAES VESPASIAN AVG PM T PP P COS III, laureate head right. PAX ORBIS TERRARVM, Pax standing right, holding cornucopiae over lighted altar. S-C across fields. RIC II 101, citing an example in the Ashmolean, Oxford. Obv of RIC 186 with Rev of RIC 101. Rated R3. Very rare. RIC II lists the obverse legend with IMP CAESAR but in view of the fact that RIC does not show the obverse of the plate coin, it is possible that the obverse of the Oxford coin cited is in poor condition and thus not fully legible.
