Just arrived an AE Prutah of the Roman Prefect of Judaea Valerius Gratus 15-26 AD. Gratus was prefect under the emperor Tiberius. He was noted from being the Prefect just before Pontius Pilate, and as the Prefect that appointed Caiaphas as high priest of the temple. Caiaphas is the priest that hated Jesus and wanted him killed.

AE Prutah
Valerius Gratus
15-26 AD
Obverse: Wreath, Legend TIB KAI CAP. Reverse: Palm branch, legend IOY LIA (Year 11)
16mm x 2.17g
Reference: Meshorer 327, Henden 1338, RPC-I 4964

Nice example, Ron. Congrats. Fyi, 645 was David Hendin's reference number for this issue in the fourth edition of his Guide to Biblical Coins. He updated his numbers in the fifth edition, so that this is now a Hendin 1338.

Correcto, Paul. Ron has the description right, but the pics reversed.

Shame on you, Ron.

I got this one from a dealer on ebay. Your best bet is to check Vcoins. Here is a listing on what they have.
