This coin presents particularly fine high-relief portraits of the Roman emperors Vespasian and his son Titus who prosecuted the wars in Judaea to repress the Jewish rebellion, five years of warfare that devastated the Roman economy and threatened the Empire.
In A.D. 70 Titus laid siege to Jerusalem and after four months, after bringing the defenders to the brink of starvation, Roman legions stormed the city and destroyed the Temple. Titus hauled the golden menorah and showbread table from the Temple to Rome the next year to celebrate their triumph, setting the stage for the Judaea Capta series of propaganda pieces celebrating Rome's supposed breaking of the Jewish people.

Do you know the difference between  NGC - Economy Grading and NGC "FULL SERVICE" Grading?
Economy grading is cheaper
because NGC, with economy grading at cheaper fee, does not  grade the coins Strike or Surface Qualities.
Also, under economy grading, NGC
does not
identify any of the coins damages (scratches, flan flaws, clipping, dents, bent, etc.).
Full Service grading costs a lot more, but I know it is definitely worth the extra money!
Full grading
is the ONLY NGC grading
that fully discloses the coins TRUE quality AND the ONLY service we use from NGC
.
Full grading gives the buyer FULL disclosure about the coin BEFORE the buyer buys the coin and finds out about these flaws later. And do you know what?
That is the way it ought to be done!
We specialize in High Grade and Scarce ancient coins that possess
extraordinary
Eye Appeal. And ONLY coins that are Fully Disclosed NGC Graded and
Encapsulated
If you are looking for the finest examples for your collection ... you're at the right place.
