Roman Republic AR Victoriatus(2.78g, 17mm, 10h), Anonymous("Pentagram" series). 209-208 B.C., Spanish mint. Laureate head of Jupiter right. Border of dots / Victory standing right, crowning trophy with wreath; Pentagram between. ROMA in exergue. Line border. Crawford 105/1; Sydenham 233a.
Rare, traditionally assigned to Etruria with its sibling the Staff issue but more likely these were both struck in Spain judging by the number that have appeared from Spanish auction houses and sources like eBay Spain, among other things.
