JUDAEA, Bar Kochba Revolt. 132-135 CE. Tetradrachm (Silver, 14.15 g 1), undated, but year 3 = 134/135.
Shim’on (palaeo-Hebrew) View of the front of the tetrastyle Temple of Jerusalem, with the Ark within the central intercolumniation, a balustrade before and a rosette above the flat roof.
Rev. For the Freedom of Jerusalem (palaeo-Hebrew) Lulav and etrog. Mildenberg 82, 14 (O12/R64,
this coin, illustrated to show the dies). A wonderful, perfectly centered coin, remarkably well struck. On the reverse there are some traces of overstriking on a tetradrachm of Trajan from Antioch,
otherwise, an exceptional example, extremely fine.
