A small bronze coin (‘Issar’), Bar Kokhba Revolt
Obv.: A palm tree with seven branches and two clusters of fruit; below it, a paleo-Hebrew inscription ![175]()
(Shimon). Rev: A bunch of grapes with small branch and leaf, surrounded by inscription ![175 (2)]()
(for the freedom of Jerusalem). The letter Mem of Jerusalem is missing. 132/5 C.E. 6.72 grams, 19 mm, axis 12. Cf. Ya’akov Meshorer, A Treasury of Jewish Coins (New York 2001), pl. 72, no. 302. The Bar Kokhba Revolt (132-135 CE) used similar symbols and inscriptions to the First Revolt. It broke out some seventy years after the destruction of the Second Temple and fifteen years after a Jewish revolt in the diaspora. The tragic consequences of the Revolt led to a pun on the name Bar Kokhba, Bar Cosiba, “son of the lie”. Bar-Kokhba coins were struck on Roman coins.
