Silver Shekel of Simon Bar Kochba – Temple Imagery
Discover the profound history of ancient Jewish rebellion against Roman oppression. In the midst of this epic struggle, the Image of Second Temple appeared on silver coins, evoking the sacred site central to Biblical narratives in books like Ezra and Nehemiah. These artifacts highlight the Jews’ quest for independence, led by Simon Bar Kochba in 133 AD.
This rare silver tetradrachm from Jerusalem, in VF condition, weighs 14.4 grams with a diameter of 1.2 inches. It features iconic imagery like the lulav and palm branches, symbolizing agricultural abundance and the longing to rebuild the Temple destroyed in 70 AD. Minted during the Bar Kokhba Revolt (132-135 AD), it often overstruck Roman coins as a defiant act.
