Description
Up for sale is a Year 2 Bar Kochba "Second Jewish War" Tetradrachm, aka "sela" . On the Obverse is the Temple Facade. The 4 ribbed columns. Between the inner columns the Ark with shelf and scrolls are seen too. The coin is surrounded by a border of dots. Legend in three quarter circle upward from left to right "jerusalem" written in paleo hebrew. On The Reverse, a Lulav (palm branch) and small Ethrog (citron) Border od dots around perimeter. Legend from lower left to right "Year 2 of the freedom of Israel" It loses a little something in the translation, but in any language it means the same thing, Freedom. On a scale from 1 to 10, this coin would rate an 11. It is as crisp as the day it was minted 1900 years ago. It was purchased at a bi annual auction in Tel Aviv about 10 years ago from one of the only antiquity dealers in Israel who are allowed to export these types of items. ( not many people legally can, its very highly regulated there) Its totally authentic, 100%, without a doubt, and is totally returnable if found not to be. As with all of my auctions, my E bay reputation goes along with this. The first 4 photos were taken with a flash so it makes the coin look a little white, but it will give you a good idea of the detail. The last 4 darker photos were taken without a flash so you can actually see the true patina of the coin. Please e mail with any questions. Ill ship next day air for free if UPS Red is ok with you. If you prefer Fed Ex, or USPS, please add $35 to total to cover the costs. ( I have UPS in my place, so its free for me, anything else I have to pay for) PayPal is OK, works the fastest.
