Beschrijving voorzijde Three Hebrew letters arranged in a triangular formation within the field, enclosed by a wreath of thin, delicate branches rendered in low relief. The paleo-Hebrew letters, an abbreviation of the name Shimon (Simon), are boldly incuse on the overstruck flan, reflecting the characteristic style of Bar Kokhba Revolt coinage. The wreath border frames the inscription symmetrically, with individual leaf clusters visible along its circumference. The flan is irregular and slightly cracked, consistent with the overstruck nature of these emergency-issue coins.

Aanvullende informatie

Struck during the Bar Kokhba revolt against Rome, these coins were produced by overstriking existing Roman denarii — the rebels lacked a functioning mint infrastructure and relied entirely on captured silver in circulation. The Jewish authority deliberately effaced Roman imagery in favor of nationalist symbols, an act of ideological as much as monetary defiance. Year One and Year Two issues exist within the series, with Year One generally scarcer; the precise chronology of production within the revolt's three-year span remains debated among specialists.

Hendin 1384 represents one of the named priestly issues, invoking Eleazar alongside Simeon, a detail that disappears from later revolt coinage entirely.
