Comment
Source: Online Coins of the Roman Empire (OCRE)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Roman goddess Victory (Victoria) on one side and a depiction of the Roman province of Judaea (now modern-day Israel) on the other. This coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Vespasian (69-79 AD) and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
