The Jewish War, year four, 69/70 CE, Obverse: Chalice with pearl rim, legend reading For The Redemption of Zion, Reverse: Lulav flanked by Etrog on either side, legend reading Year Four.
The men and women who first held and used this coin shared a dream of freedom. Minted centuries ago in a time of struggle, the coin bears imagery that looks forward to an age of peace and abundance. When we hold it today, we feel the power of those ancient dreams, the hopes and desires of people who valued freedom enough to fight for it. The dissatisfaction of the people during the period of Roman Procuratorial rule in Judea led from time to time to outbreaks and blood shed, and to their suppression by the Roman legions. In 66 A.D., serious rioting broke out at Caesarea, which soon spread. The Jews quickly gained the upper hand and the roman occupation forces were driven out of much of the country, which encouraged the population to openly oppose the roman army. For the next several years, a bitter war was waged in Judea between the Jewish inhabitants and the Roman legions, with the latter slowly regaining the positions they had lost at the beginning of the revolt. Nero, the emperor at the time the war began, sent the general Vespasian to command the roman forces. He reconquered the northern part of the country and then laid siege to Jerusalem. On the ninth of Av, 70 A.D., the second temple was destroyed. By this time, Vespasian had already been proclaimed emperor in Rome, and his son, Titus, had taken over as commander. Many thousands were killed in the fighting and, when the temple fell, aspirations for Jewish independence faded for generations. The coins issued during this dramatic period in history carry "revolutionary" slogans as well as depictions of symbols that are characteristically Jewish. - (C.10287) « Less

The coins issued during this dramatic period in history carry "revolutionary" slogans as well as depictions of symbols that are characteristically Jewish. This distinctive coin features the image of a vine leaf, evoking the peaceful abundance that the leaders of the revolt so fervently longed for. The reverse side of the coin portrays a holy chalice. This expressive coin stands as a timeless and significant symbol of age-old ideals and ongoing faith. - (C.10293) « Less

The First Jewish War against Rome, also known as the Great Revolt, lasted from 66-70 AD. Financial exploitation and religious intolerance were the key motivations for the Jewish uprising. For decades the population had been ruled by Roman procurators who had to raise a specified annual tax, any thing above this they could keep, a system that encouraged gross exploitation. There was also a growing disrespect for the Jewish religious practices.
The revolt was initially successful; Jerusalem and its treasury were captured and the Roman garrison destroyed. Silver, including the Tyrian coins paid to the Roman authorities in taxes, was used to mint Jewish coins in shekel and half-shekel denominations. The obverse depicted a chalice with the year of the revolt above; this was surrounded by the Hebrew inscription ‘Shekel of Israel.’ The reverse features three budding pomegranates and the inscription ‘Jerusalem the Holy.’ Year 1 shekels and half shekels are scarce, Years 2 and 3 more common and Years 4 and 5 extremely rare. It is difficult to under-estimate the symbolic significance of this act of defiance. Roman authorities tightly controlled the minting of coins across the empire and for years had forced the Jews to use a coinage with depicting the head of the god Melkhart, known in the west as Heracles. The reverse featured an eagle with the inscription ‘Tyre the Holy and City of Refuge.’ In 66 it was finally possible to mint a coin that did not violate the prohibitions of the Torah.
Ultimately the Romans regained the upper hand, initially led by Vespasian and after 69 by his son Titus. Jerusalem was destroyed, the Temple sacked and the population massacred. The coins minted during this period however are a physical testimony to this bold attempt to resist Roman rule. - (LC.140 ) « Less
