Vespasian / Judaea Devicta Fourée

Vespasian. AD 69-79. 17mm 2.7g. Fourée Denarius, Lugdunum or illegal mint.
O: Laureate head right, IMP CAESAR VESPASIANVS AVG TR P R: Draped Jewess standing left, hands tied in front of her, palm tree behind, IVDAEA DEVICTA.

One of the more interesting types as it is found more often as a fourée than solid silver.

Great coin! Personally I believe the fourree examples are unofficial.

I agree that these are almost certainly unofficial. I adjusted the description which unintentionally appeared to indicate otherwise.

What is surprising to me is despite the fact the fourree specimens are unofficial, they have good style and seem to be more common than the genuine specimens. Yours is an excellent example of that 'unofficial' style! They must've been minted near Lyon, but where exactly remains a mystery.
