A silver tetradrachm (‘Sela’), Bar Kokhba Revolt
Obv.: Tetrastyle facade of the Temple in Jerusalem: Between the pillars, an ark. Above, a star motif, flanked by a paleo-Hebrew inscription
(Shimon). Rev: Lulav, ethrog myrtle and willow surrounded by the inscription
(for the freedom of Jerusalem). Tetradrachms of Bar Kokhba Revolt are mostly restruck on Syrian tetradrachms of the reign of Trajan. 132/5 C.E. 14.07 grams, 25¼ mm, axis 1. Cf. Ya’akov Meshorer, A Treasury of Jewish Coins (New York 2001), pl. 69, no. 267b. 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.
