14C100
BAR KOCHBA WAR
AR Tetradrachm (14.40gm) Undated, 134/5 C.E.

"Shim'on," façade of the Temple with Ark of the Covenant within / "For the Freedom of Jerusalem," lulav with etrog. Mildenberg O13/R-.

Extremely Rare (new reverse die). Mildenberg recorded eleven reverse dies paired with his obverse die O13. This obverse die exhibits a horizontal flaw across the Ark of the Covenant from its first appearance. The development of this flaw indicates that our new reverse die was employed around the same time as R37. The new issue probably belongs between Mildenberg 50 and 51.

Portrait of Galba visible on reverse. Extremely Fine		 $8,500
