<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Napata, post: 2941253, member: 76197&quot;]Recently, several series of coins from the Levantine region have caught my attention for their great variety in iconography. I refer to coins from major mints such as Samaria, Judea (Yehud), Philistia and Gaza. The earliest are often innovative imitations of the Greek counterparts with eastern flavors, including Egyptian ones. One trait that makes them recognizable is their crude appearance and a silver fabric that seems of lower quality.</p><p><br /></p><p>During the year 2017, I pounced upon two coins of YHD (Yehud).</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: Great king head.</p><p>Reverse: Facing falcon; YHD legend (sadly not visible in both cases!)</p><p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/WWUk1lK.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone else has some early Levantine coins to share to the public?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
