Uniquely they have very nationalistic and identifiable Jewish designs, such as the Temple and Menora&#039;s, and are are unapologitic about their nationalism. They do not adopt Greek symbolism as did Macabonian coinage before them. Coins from the first great revolt are a more in context with general coinage of the region. </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/coins/nycoinshow/judian_roman_war_coin_year_2_putah_67-8ce_r.png" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/coins/nycoinshow/judian_roman_war_coin_year_2_putah_67-8ce_r.png" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/coins/nycoinshow/judian_roman_war_coin_year_2_putah_67-8ce_r.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><span style="color: #004400">Year 2 Putah Bronze Coin 67-68 CE Reverse</span>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <a href="http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/coins/nycoinshow/judian_roman_war_coin_year_2_putah_67-8ce_o.png" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/coins/nycoinshow/judian_roman_war_coin_year_2_putah_67-8ce_o.png" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/coins/nycoinshow/judian_roman_war_coin_year_2_putah_67-8ce_o.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><span style="color: #004400">Year 2 Putah Bronze Coin 67-68 CE Obverse</span> </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; The study of Herbew Scripts are helpful in dating and identifying these coins.&nbsp; Some excellent on-line resources for these scripts include the following: </p><p>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.ancientscripts.com/old_hebrew.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ancientscripts.com/old_hebrew.html" rel="nofollow">Ancient or Old Hebrew</a></p><p><a href="http://www.ancientscripts.com/phoenician.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ancientscripts.com/phoenician.html" rel="nofollow">The Related Phonician</a></p><p><a href="http://www.ancientscripts.com/aramaic.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ancientscripts.com/aramaic.html" rel="nofollow">Aramaic which was imported into new Hebrew</a></p><p><a href="http://www.ancientscripts.com/hebrew.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ancientscripts.com/hebrew.html" rel="nofollow">Modern Hebrew Script</a></p><p>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/judwar.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/judwar.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/coins/nycoinshow/judian_roman_war_coin_year_2_putah_67-8ce_o_2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/judwar.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/judwar.html" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://www2.mrbrklyn.com/coins/nycoinshow/judian_roman_war_coin_year_2_putah_67-8ce_r_2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This coin has 5 of the 7 letters on the obverse and all of the letters on the reverse.

The Neatherlands has also produced some interesting designs, and several private US based mints have produced foreign currency on&nbsp; contract, include the Franklin Mint which has produced many Israeli Coins.&nbsp; Our interest in foreign coins has been nominal but rapidly growing as it seems that US designs&nbsp; are so stuck in the mud.&nbsp; Also, foreign mints are creating bold new designs with color and bimetal designs that are both eye catching and fun. </p><p>&nbsp;This is a short list of our current modern design:&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><ul> <li><a href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/koala.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/koala.html" rel="nofollow">Australan Silver Koala</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/kookaburra.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/kookaburra.html" rel="nofollow">Australan Kookaburra&nbsp; Silver</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/octopus.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/octopus.html" rel="nofollow">Austrailian Silver Ringed Octopus</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/panda.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/panda.html" rel="nofollow">Chinese Silver Panda</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/easter.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/easter.html" rel="nofollow">Easter Islands </a></li> <li><a href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/indo-Sassanian.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/indo-Sassanian.html" rel="nofollow">Indo-Sassanian Gadhaya Paisa Saurastrat - Silver Coin</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/israeli.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/israeli.html" rel="nofollow">Israeli Coins</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/judwar.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/judwar.html" rel="nofollow">Judean Roman Wars</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/kashmir.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/kashmir.html" rel="nofollow">Kashmir</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/kurd.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/kurd.html" rel="nofollow">Kurdistan</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/mac.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/mac.html" rel="nofollow">Macabean Coins</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/arch.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/arch.html" rel="nofollow">Netherlands Architecture Commemerative Euro</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/sart.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mrbrklyn.com/sart.html" rel="nofollow">Western Satraps 1st Century - 2nd Centry India -R-Drachm</a></li> </ul><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; Our modest collection generally contains the following coins types.
