| Beschrijving keerzijde | A palm tree rendered frontally at center, with a spreading crown of fronds and a distinctive trunk, serving as the principal device. Flanking the base of the trunk are two bunches of dates or small palm shoots. The Greek legend ΒΡΙΤ appears above, while the regnal date LΙΔ (year 14) and the abbreviation ΚΑΙ (of Caesar) are distributed in the lower field to either side of the trunk. The epigraphy and palm motif are hallmarks of Judaean prutot issued under Roman procurators during the reign of Claudius I. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Felix — a freedman of the imperial household who rose to govern Judaea under Claudius and then Nero — struck these small bronzes under his own authority as procurator, an unusual arrangement that reflected both the administrative flexibility Rome extended to client regions and Felix's own considerable political connections. The Roman historian Tacitus wrote of him that he "exercised the power of a king with the spirit of a slave," a damning assessment of a man who used every tool available, including coinage, to project authority. Felix is also the procurator before whom the Apostle Paul appeared, as recorded in Acts 24.
