<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1934643, member: 26302&quot;]They look a little like your piece, as in style, but not very close. I am familiar with the Jewish pieces from David Hendin&#039;s books, and own many of them like First Revolt and Bar Kochba war, and your piece it not an authentic ancient Jewish coin. If you disagree I would recommend checking out Mr. Hendin&#039;s book &quot;Biblical coins and their Values&quot;. I believe he is up to the fourth or fifth edition, but any edition will work. Newer editions only add local city coins and roman provincial coins with Jewish themes. </p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, you ever think why a JEWISH coin would have a cross on it? </p><p><br /></p><p>My opinion would be it is a hodgepodge item concocted to look old to sell to tourists visiting Israel. The obverse being derived from Bar Kochba coins, and the reverse borrowed from 8th century Byzantine silver coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
