| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central motif consists of a tall, narrow-necked jug or ewer (lulav flask) flanked by a palm branch (lulav) to the right, both rendered in relief against a flat field. These ritual objects carry symbolic significance associated with the Jewish festival of Sukkot and national liberation. A beaded border encircles the design. Paleo-Hebrew inscription in the field reads 'Licherut Yisrael' (For the freedom of Israel), dated to Year Two of the revolt. The flan is irregular, consistent with overstruck denarii common to Bar Kokhba silver issues. |

Struck in Year Two of the Bar Kokhba revolt, this coin belongs to a series produced by overstamping existing Roman provincial silver — predominantly Trajanic and Hadrianic tetradrachms — because the rebels had no independent silver supply. The Roman host coins were rarely obliterated completely, and traces of the original legends and imagery frequently bleed through beneath the Jewish overtype, a detail that allows researchers to reconstruct which Roman issues were circulating in Judea at the outbreak of the revolt in 132 AD.
The name "bar Kosevah" — as opposed to the messianic epithet "bar Kokhba" — reflects the actual family name recovered from the Wadi Murabba'at letters found in 1952.
