| Reverse description | A bunch of grapes on a vine tendril dominates the central field, a motif closely associated with the Land of Israel and employed consistently across Bar Kokhba bronze coinage. Surrounding the central device, the Hebrew legend שנת אחת לגאלת ישראל (Year one of the redemption of Israel) is arranged in an arc encircling the field, with individual letter groups distributed around the periphery. The strike is characteristically off-center and irregular, the surfaces showing the rough texture common to the hastily produced coinage of the revolt. The overall design is rendered in a bold, if artistically naive, style befitting emergency military issue coinage. |
