A hybrid coin struck from two reverse dies, one from the first year (132/3 CE) and the other from the second year (133/4 CE) of the Bar Kokhba War. This sort of reverse muling, which appears to have been peculiar to the zuz denomination, may have taken place late in the second year when the tide was beginning to turn decisively against the Bar Kokhba rebels and the coins were struck under difficult conditions with little concern for quality control. These mules are important from a technical perspective because they show that in the Bar Kokhba mint(s) obverse and reverse dies were completely interchangeable.

DESIGN:
Obverse side
‘Year one of the redemption of Israel’ (Paleo-Hebrew), bunch of grapes with branch and small leaf
Reverse side
‘Year two of the freedom of Israel’ (Paleo-Hebrew), palm branch

A perfect choice for Numismatists, Historians, Military Veterans, Collectors.
