    Moussaieff Collection is a wonderful provenance. If it was good enough to be in his collection, it would be welcome in mine! I recently added an ex-Domitian denarius from his collection.

    Judaea, Bar Kokhba Revolt. Silver Zuz (3.22 g), 132-135 CE. Undated, attributed to year 3 (134/5 CE).
    O: 'Simon' (Paleo-Hebrew) within wreath of thin branches wrapped around eight almonds, with a medallion at top and tendrils at bottom.
    R: 'For the freedom of Jerusalem' (Paleo-Hebrew), fluted jug with handle on left; in right field, willow branch. Partial portrait of Domitian to left.

    I also have a Tiberias Mint, Æ half denomination of Herod Antipas that is ex. Teddy Kollek, Mayor of Jerusalem from 1965-1993, and friend of Moussaieff.
