1/2 Ma'ah-Obol Judea

正面描述	Lily (fleur-de-lis) motif depicted in high relief at center, with three upward-spreading petals rising from a rounded bulb-like base, rendered in a stylized yet naturalistic manner characteristic of Persian-period Judaean coinage. The design fills the irregular flan, with the floral emblem presented frontally and symmetrically. No legend or inscription appears on this side. The flat field surrounding the device shows typical hammered surface texture. The motif is commonly associated with Persian-influenced Yehud provincial coinage of the 4th century BC.

附加信息	Yehud Medinata — "the province of Judah" — was a sub-unit of the Achaemenid satrapy of Abar Nahara, administered by a Persian-appointed governor but permitted to strike its own small silver coinage, an unusual concession that likely served local tax and temple-economy needs rather than broad commerce. These fractional pieces circulated in an environment where most transactions were conducted by weight, making the denomination more a fiscal instrument than a coin in any modern sense. The HGC 10#442 "corr." citation signals a cataloguing correction, indicating this specific subtype diverges from the type as originally described.
