Beautifull zuz Michael , thanks for showing

I think there are a pair of vuvuzela trumpets shown on the coin

 

I've wondered if I would get booted out of the hockey game for having a vuvuzela instead of a cowbell? I've thought about getting one.

 

The trumpets on the coin are actually meant to represent the trumpets that were used as part of the daily Temple service and are mentioned several times in the Bible.

I heard that the manuscript for Mozart's Vuvuzela Concerto was destroyed in a fire during the Napoleonic Wars. Praise the Lord!

 

That is an awesome looking coin. I don't collect them either, but now I want one for my collection.

 

This is like a zombie thread, back from the grave.

 

I think I triggered it's resurrection..Judean is my collecting niche, so was browsing around for related threads. Nice zuz you have there!

Yes, the threads never die!

 

Well I wouldn't have known about this coin if the thread wasn't resurrected.

 

No idea yet about the hidden coin???
I vote for a Mark Antony RR-leg-type denarius... maybe...

 

Glad there are a few of us out there (but not too many).

 

You have a lot of Judean?

Certainly not enough, but I do have quite a few.

 

I must have missed this one first time around too so I'm happy to see it now.

Now THAT is a cool coin. I really love the history behind it. Great example too.

 

Tell me about it!

 

I so wish there was something left of the under type on my bro's coin. That would've been way cool.

Sweet coins all!
