Description

Bronze Jewish coin (prutah) of Herod Antipas (27 A.D.)

In the heart of New Testament history, the Herod Antipas coin, who Jesus called “That Fox!” – serves as a direct artifact from the Herodian Dynasty. This bronze half-denomination coin features a round wreath with “TIBE” (Tiberias) on side A. Side B shows a palm branch inscribed by Herod the Tetrarch.

Herod Antipas ruled Galilee and Perea from 4 B.C. to 39 A.D. Jesus referred to him in Luke 13:32, highlighting his cunning nature. The coin links to his role in executing John the Baptist and questioning Jesus.

This rare piece includes a display stand, certificate of authenticity, and IAA export approval. Shipped from Jerusalem, it embodies Herodian propaganda.
