Struck in Jerusalem during one of the most charged periods in Judean history, these bronze coins moved through daily life under Herod the Great and into the years of revolt.
They passed through market stalls, temple streets, and homes filled with tension and hope. Hands held them while empires pressed in and faith held firm.
Ordinary people used them without ceremony, never imagining survival. Nearly two thousand years later, these same coins endure.
Silent witnesses to devotion, resistance, and lives lived long ago.

Who held this before?
Picture Jerusalem across decades of tension and faith. Temple crowds filling the streets during festivals. Roman soldiers watching from stone towers. Prayers whispered beneath incense and fear as Herods rule slowly gives way to occupation and rebellion.
This coin lived through it all.
It may have bought bread during Herods reign, passed quietly across a market stall. Years later, it could have been spent under Roman control as unrest grew. Perhaps it paid for food during the First Jewish Revolt, when survival mattered more than hope.
Hands shaped by belief, resistance, and loss carried this coin forward. People who witnessed the Temples destruction and the end of their world as they knew it. Their voices faded.
