| Beschrijving keerzijde | Ceres, or Concordia, enthroned to the left upon an ornate chair with decorated legs, draped and wearing a modius upon her head. She extends her right hand holding ears of grain and a poppy, while her left arm rests upon a tall cornucopia. The scene is rendered with fine detail in the drapery folds and the elaborate throne. In the lower field to the right appears the Greek mintmark ΦΥ, identifying the Ephesian mint. The surrounding legend CONCORDIA AVG is inscribed in Latin capitals within a beaded border. |

Struck in 69 AD's immediate aftermath, this coin belongs to Vespasian's earliest gold output — issued while he was still consolidating power following the catastrophic Year of the Four Emperors. The CONCORDIA AVG type was politically pointed: after Galba, Otho, and Vitellius had each fallen within months, projecting harmony within the imperial house was not ceremonial, it was survival doctrine. Vespasian needed Rome to believe the civil wars were genuinely over.
RIC II 1381 places this among the eastern mint productions, likely Antioch or Memphis, struck before the Flavian administration had fully reorganized the western minting apparatus at Rome.
