| Lot description: Ancients JUDAEA. Bar Kokhba Revolt (AD 132-135). AR zuz (18mm, 3.29 gm, 1h). NGC Choice XF★ 3/5 - 5/5, overstruck. Undated issue of Year 3 (AD 134/5). Simon (Paleo-Hebrew), name within wreath of thin branches wrapped around eight almonds, medallion at top, tendrils at bottom / For the Freedom of Jerusalem (Paleo-Hebrew), fluted oenochoe, handle on left; upright willow branch to right. Mildenberg 104.7 (this coin listed). GBC 6, 6449. Beautiful cabinet toning and intriguing political overstrike. Ex Edward J. Waddell, private sale with old dealer's tag included; Josef Samel Collection, Das Heilige Land..., Exhibition catalog, Munich 1994, 466. Overstruck on Vitellius denarius with his portrait and a partial legend of the host coin visible on reverse (3h). Unlike coins of the first Jewish War against Rome (AD 66-70), all coins of the Bar Kokhba Revolt were overstruck on Roman Provincial issues already in circulation, mainly silver tetradrachms and drachms of Antioch, Tyre, and Caesarea in Cappadocia, as well as Roman silver denarii. The government of Simon Bar Kokhba mainly controlled the Judaean hinterlands, hiding men and equipment in an elaborate network of underground caves and tunnels, and did not have the time or resources to set up a full-fledged mint with smelting, refining and casting capabilities. All the same, it must have given the rebel mintmasters a certain thrill to hammer flat the images of the Roman emperors and Pagan deities who they hoped to banish from Israel altogether. Coins struck during the first and second years of the revolt carry a date ("Year One / Two of the Redemption of Israel"), while coins struck during the third year (AD 134-135) are undated. https://coins.ha.com/itm/ancients/judaea/ancients-judaea-bar-kokhba-revolt-ad-132-135-ar-zuz-18mm-329-gm-1h-ngc-choice-xfand-9733-/a/61375-25151.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchives-WorldCoins-61375-05202024 HID02906262019 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved |  |
