I am offering the a incredible ANCIENT JEWISH ROMAN Authentic Rare Judaea Shimon Bar Kochba 132–135 Ce Jewish revolt against Rome, Palm branch in wreath bronze coin # 227.

The leader of the Second Revolt (132-135 CE) was Shim'on Bar Koseba. He was known as Bar Kochba, meaning “Son of the Star,“ in reference to messianic expectations of the verse: “There shall step forth a star (kochab) out of Jacob“ (Numbers 24:17). Indeed, one of the greatest sages of the time - Rabbi Akiva - had proclaimed Bar Kochba as the messiah.

Prutah is a Hebrew term, possibly derived from Aramaic, that appears in the Bible and the Torah. It refers to a small denomination coin.

Obverse: Undated. Palm branch in wreath. Inscription off flan.

Reverse: Lyre. Paleo-Hebrew inscription: “(Shim)on”.

Size: 17,0 x 19,9 mm.

Weight: 3,06 grams.

Authenticity Guaranteed.

Condition: Preservation Fine, no stains or scratches, a few deposits. Please check photos for your own grading.

As a coin collector I DO NOT clean any of my coins to preserve the original patina, if you wish to clean the coin/s I will leave it up to you.

The coin you see in the photo is the coin you get.

Just a great addition to your ANCIENT coins collection.

With this tutorial you have largely enough to progress and check if a coin is a modern fake. I advise you to read the whole of the popular article that is complete. Finally, I am giving you a list of points to look at first:
- the weight
- the diameter
- the metal
- the edge
- the surface
These are the first elements that a collector should always look at any purchase or identification.
