Only us specialists foolishly care or notice such things.

It’s not often when surfing the web I come across a coin in trade and simply say “wow”. This is one of those coins. Beyond doubt one of the biggest surprise additions of the year.
I tend to shy away from fourrées as a general rule because of their unofficial status. However, there is one infamous fourrée type that is a must have for any serious collector of Flavian coins.
Coin dealers occasionally label certain Flavian Victory types as part of the ‘Judaea Capta’ series in fairly dubious ways for promotional reasons – doing so will bring in biblical punters and other collectors who would otherwise have overlooked a piece. Not all of these Victory types are part of the series and should more appropriately be viewed in generic terms – especially if there are no legends or devices that clarifies the matter.
IMHO, this coin is one that unmistakeably is a true ‘Judaea Capta’ Victory type based on its design.
