A bronze prutah of Agrippa I, mint of Jerusalem
Obv.: A canopy surrounded by Greek inscription [AΓ]PIΠA BACIɅE[WC] (of king Agrippa). The inscription is complete. Rev.: Three ears of grain and the date L ς (sixth year). 41/2 C.E. 2.32 grams, 16½ mm, axis 12. Cf. Ya’akov Meshorer, A Treasury of Jewish Coins (New York 2001), pl. 52, no. 120. The Herodian dynasty founded by Herod the Great the ultimate political animal had a number of rulers, the most Jewish of them being Agrippa I. The coins struck by Herod himself were in accordance with Jewish religious sensitivities. Likewise his son Archelaus and his grandson Agrippa struck coins with symbols compatible with Judaism. By way of contrast Agrippa like his brother Antipas and son Agrippa II struck coins with portraits and pagan motifs for his gentile subjects.
