Lot 1027
Herod I (the Great), 40 B.C. - 4 A.D. AE lepton. One of the finest examples we have seen. Very rare this choice. Cornucopia with inscription above and below. Reverse: Eagle standing r. Hen. 501; AJC II, 238, 23. Extremely Fine.
Estimated Value $150 - 250.
An interesting issue as apparently this is the first coin issued by a Jewish ruler for use by Jews with a graven image upon it.
