Jewish coin minted during the first revolt in Israel
In the first year, only silver coins were minted, struck from the Temple’s silver stores, intended to be nationalistic replacements for the Tyrian shekels
These silver pieces included shekels, half-shekels, and quarter-shekels, each labeled with the year of their creation and their denomination
While the reverse of the Tyrian shekels bore the words, “Tyre the Holy and City of Refuge,” the reverse of the Jewish shekels read, “Jerusalem the Holy
Because silver was becoming scarce, three denominations of bronze coins were minted to replace the shekels
The coin that you will receive is the same of the pics, I try to display accurate pics of both sides and edge
Material looks silver (magnet doesnt work on the coin)
