​

Judea, Bar Kokhba Revolt, silver Zuz, 132-135 common era, attributed to year 3 (134/5), "SIMON", grapes, rev. "FOR THE FREEDOM OF JERUSALEM", palm branch, 3.25g. The undertype visible is the partially remaining legend from the obverse of a Drachm, probably of Trajan and probably of Caesaria. The letters AYTOK can be discerned, these being part of the title AYTOKRATΩR - autocrat, dictator, tyrant, despot. This coin is shown in Hendin’s GBC 5th edition.

 

Extraordinary coin!!
