<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2109521, member: 42773&quot;]Thanks again Al. I was not aware of this site - I now have it bookmarked. Looking through his coins, I now see that the letter is in fact tsade. I was looking at it from the wrong angle. So here is the complete attribution...</p><p><br /></p><p><b>First Jewish Revolt, AD 66-70</b></p><p>AE Prutah, 17mm, 3g, 6h; Jerusalem, AD 68/9.</p><p>Obv.: שנת שלוש (Year Three); Amphora with broad, fringed rim and two handles.</p><p>Rev.: חרות ציונ (Freedom of Zion); Grape leaf on vine.</p><p>Reference: Hendin 1363.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]398242[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The legends on this coin are read counter-clockwise, starting at the lower right on the obverse, and upper left on the reverse. I&#039;ve noticed, however, that on some varieties, the legends start in different places. Also, on year 2 coins, Freedom (חרות) is sometimes spelled without the waw (חרת).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
