Judaea, The Jewish War. Æ Eighth (5.69 g), 66-70 CE. Jerusalem, year 4 (69/70 CE). 'Year four' (Paleo-Hebrew), lulav branch flanked by an etrog on either sider. Rev. 'To the redemption of Zion' (Paleo-Hebrew), chalice with pearled rim. Hendin 1369; TJC 214. Chocolate-brown patina. Very Fine. Estimate Value $250 - UP
From the Palm Desert Collection. Purchased from Superior in the 1970s or 1980s.
The bronze eighth denomination of the fourth year (April 69-March 70 CE) of the Jewish War is remarkable for its use of the pearled chalice type on the reverse when this had previously been reserved for silver shekels and fractions. It may signal that this denomination, although unmarked, was intended as a token representing a value in silver.
 
Realized $432
