<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Carl Wilmont, post: 9802298, member: 75496&quot;]Nice addition, [USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER]!&nbsp; A Judaea Capta coin minted in Judaea <i>is</i> an interesting specimen. I believe your coin is Hendin 1449 (not 1448).&nbsp; [Hendin 1448 is similar to the one [USER=99456]@Sulla80[/USER] posted above, but it has no palm tree on the reverse, and Victory is writing on a shield resting on her knee (vs hanging on a tree)]. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=99456]@Sulla80[/USER], your coin appears to have Victory writing from a shield hung on the tree, which would be Hendin 1446 GBC 5th Ed and RPC II 2311 (not 2312).&nbsp; (Agree that it is a Barag type II.)&nbsp; Note that in both RPC II 2311 and RPC II 2312, Victory has a knee raised with a foot on a helmet, but for RPC 2311, the palm tree is directly behind the shield as on your coin (indicating that the shield is hung on the tree), instead of to the right as in RPC 2312.</p><p><br /></p><p>At least that&#039;s how I match up the reference works for these attributions- please let me know if I&#039;m missing something.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s an example from my collection of Hendin 1449 GBC 5 (Hendin 6476 GBC 6); RPC II 2313:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1522738[/ATTACH]</p><p><font size="3"><br /></font></p><p><font size="3">Judaea.
