GLF Types 1-3 are the earliest issues of coins struck for use in Judaea, though they were minted at an uncertain location in Philistia.

JUDAEA, Jewish War. 66-70 CE. AR Shekel (23.5mm, 13.77 g, 11h). Jerusalem mint. Dated year 1 (66/7 CE). Omer cup; “1” (date, in Hebrew) above, pellets flanking; “Shekel of Israel” (in Hebrew) around / Sprig of three pomegranates; “Jerusalem [the] holy” (in Hebrew) around.

Good VF.

Struck during the Jewish War against Rome, which lasted for at least part of five calendar years, these silver Shekels demonstrate a separation from Roman authority. Unlike Roman coins, they bore no human portrait, in order to keep the commandment that “thou shalt not make a graven image.” Legends were written in the language of Jews, Hebrew; the lettering, however, was an archaic form known as “proto-Hebrew,” a form close to the Phoenician script from which it derived. Important religious imagery was the central design on either side; namely, the Omer cup, which held the “first fruits,” the measure of barley during Passover, and the sprig of three pomegranates, used as decoration on many religiously significant items.

JUDAEA, Bar Kochba Revolt. 132-135 CE. AR Sela – Tetradrachm (25mm, 13.95 g, 1h). Undated, attributed to year 3 (134/5 CE). Façade of the Temple at Jerusalem; showbread table within, star above, “Shim‘on” in Hebrew at sides / Bundle of lulav; etrog to left, “For the freedom of Jerusalem” (in Hebrew) around.

(same dies; incorrect Mildenberg number); Sofaer 107–13; Spaer 194 (same obv. die). Overstruck on an Antioch tetradrachm of Vespasian, struck circa CE 70–71 (cf. McAlee 334–6; the outline of a Flavian style portrait is visible on the reverse, the outline of the eagle and palm frond is visible on the obverse). Near EF.

Here we have the interesting case of a coin of the second great Jewish revolt against Rome overstruck on a coin of the general, and later emperor, Vespasian, who led the Roman response to the first revolt. As David Hendin notes, Bar Kochba’s historically important coins would mark an end to the minting of Jewish coins in antiquity. Though there was little financial incentive for the Jews to strike their own coins during the revolt as all of the Bar Kochba coinage was overstruck on a motley mix of coins already in circulation, Judaean coinage from this period played an integral role in the dissemination of political propaganda. As Meshorer notes: “Not only did [Bar Kochba] deface the portraits of despised emperors by this technique [of overstriking], he was also able to depict Jewish symbols and nationalistic inscriptions.” Description

Ex MACM inventory MMoCA1C; Patrick H. C. Tan Collection (Classical Numismatic Group 84, 5 May 2010), lot 748.

The Achaemenid series began in the late sixth century BC, deriving from the famous Kroiseid coinage, and lasted until the conquest of Persia by Alexander the Great in the 330s BC. The term “daric” dates from the fifth century BC, and was used by the Greeks as a term for Persian coinage, particularly the gold (see Herodotos 7.28). Its name derives from that of the Persian king Darios I, under whom the Persian coinage began. Ian Carradice’s study, “The ‘Regal’ Coinage of the Persian Empire” in: Coinage and Administration in the Athenian and Persian Empires (BAR International Series 343 [Oxford. 1987]) forms the modern basis for our understanding of this interesting coinage.
