Another coin from the same revolt that I love is the 1/8th shekel. As the revolt wore on, the belief is that silver became more scarce and they started mining more bronze coins to fill the gap. This one has the image of a lulav and two etrogim on the reverse (the obverse, being a chalice, of course). The coin is from the 4th year of the revolt which was 69/70 CE - the Temple was destroyed in the summer of 70 CE (on the 9th day of the Jewish month "Av"). The inscriptions are: Obv: 'To the Redemption of Zion'. Rev: 'year four' -Daniel
Every time I see a coin like that I can't decide if it is so ragged because of the ravages of time and war or if they were created like that. Ruben
