Small bronze coin of Coponius (1st century A.D.)

Coponius was the first Roman procurator of Judaea, being appointed in 6 AD when Herod Archelaus, the son of Herod the Great, was deposed and banished to Gaul by Augustus. Coponius depicted the palm tree bearing two bunches of dates on his coinage, which previously had appeared only on extremely rare coins of Herod Antipas. The palm tree design was later used to represent Judaea on coins issued by the Jews during the First and Second Revolts, as well as later Roman-issued Judaean-related pieces.

Authentic Hasmonean Prutah – Ancient Jewish Coin

Hasmonean Prutah Jewish Ancient Coin

The bronze Hasmonean coins have a variety of symbols, including the double cornucopia (found on the modern NIS 2 Shekel coin), the lily (found on the NIS 1 Shekel coin), the star, and the palm branch. The most fascinating aspect of these coins, however, are their inscriptions.  The inscription on these coins (except the star design Alexander Jannaeus) reads, “name of the ruler, high priest, and council of the Jews” in an ancient paleo-Hebrew script.  It makes most sense that this inscription indicates the name of the minting authority of these coins.
