Perfect Palm tree COTD

I was very pleased to have recently acquired this unusually well preserved quadrans.

The coin's condition, IMHO, makes this COTD worthy.

Thank you for looking!

The Flavians are coming in strong these past few days.  Great coin David.  Is it a date palm?

Yes, as a symbol of the land of Judaea.
