Smoothly worn golden-brown surfaces. An extremely rare type, this coin is one of the very few sestertii types struck for Titus during his third consular year (AD 74.) RIC cites only one specimen for this type (Paris) which is a double die-match to this coin. The "R2" rating implies that the RIC authors were aware of at least one other specimen besides the Paris coin, but I was unable to find any other examples online.
