| Reverse description | A wreath of laurel or olive branches encircling a central upright palm branch (lulav), the wreath tied at the base with a binding knot. The Hebrew inscription LEHEROT YERUSHALAYIM (לחרות ירושלם), meaning 'For the freedom of Jerusalem,' runs around the inner perimeter of the wreath. The composition is a powerful nationalistic motif common to Bar Kokhba Revolt bronzes, rendered in the characteristic bold, irregular hammered technique of the period. |
