hasfam Valued Member United States 93 Posts	Posted 02/16/2010 10:24 am I was hoping somebody could help ID this coin or give my some info on it. I know my dad was given this in the early 60's by a woman in Chicago. I think it's Hebrew, around 70 AD and was made during the Hebrew revolt of the time. This is what my research a few years ago revealed. I also discovered that it was popular to make replica's of these coins in the 20th century. I don't know if I'm on the right track with this. If it's authentic or a replica? It's value if any? It weighs 10.17 grams and is 1" diameter. Thanks Rock Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16883 Posts	Posted 02/16/2010 5:25 pm Yep, it's a replica of a Second Revolt coin, circa 132 AD. The original coins with this design were silver tetradrachms, or selas; see this example on Wildwinds.
