Tree of Life

The ancient Tree of Life, known as Menorah seems a little bit original on obverse of this coin. The legend looks probably ancient Hebraic, with reverse showing a tree bearing pomegranates. It weighs 1.45 g. Please post a comment if you have.

I think it is a modern reproduction.

 

It sure looks suspicious . Hopefully Deacon Ray can chime in on this.

 

..kool coin Charles!...i've never seen one like it...

 

The only ancient Jewish coins depicting a menorah are those of Mattathias Antigonus (40-37 B.C.) the last Hasmonean king of Judea. These are highly sought after and much reproduced.

I don't have one but it looks like this:


Edit to add:
If you have the funds:
ROMA XIX

 

Thanks a lot to all of you. I learned that I have to keep this precious gem, even though it's a reproduction. The "genuine" value is beyond imagination as seen by the Link ROMA XIX offered by coin-friend dadams.

 

..you know this is a hobby in which we can go broke doing and still have money .......

 

@ominus1 .. May God help us for ever. Cheers all the way.
