About the Item
This silver zuz coin, weighing 3.30 grams, was minted during the Bar Kokhba Revolt, a Jewish uprising against Roman rule in Judaea from AD 132 to 135. Undated but attributed to the years AD 134/135, this piece is a powerful symbol of resistance and hope for Jewish independence. It has been officially authenticated and encapsulated by NGC Ancients, a leading coin grading and certification authority. The coin is sealed in a tamper-proof display holder that includes the company’s identifying barcode and certification number.
The obverse of the coin features a paleo-Hebrew inscription enclosed within a decorative wreath composed of stylized leaves and ribbon. The inscription refers to Simon Bar Kokhba, the leader of the revolt, whose name appears prominently on coins of this period as a declaration of sovereignty. The wreath’s contours are well-defined, despite natural age-related wear, and frame the inscription with a sense of ceremony and authority.
The reverse side depicts a ritual jug, likely a ewer used in Temple service, alongside a palm branch—an ancient Judaean symbol of victory and liberation. The accompanying inscription, also in paleo-Hebrew, supports the coin’s message of religious and political renewal. Although the surface of the coin shows signs of moderate wear, it retains significant detail in the imagery and lettering.
NGC has graded the coin as Choice Extremely Fine (Ch XF), reflecting the sharpness of its strike and overall preservation. The strike quality is rated 4 out of 5, with the surface receiving a 2 out of 5, indicating wear consistent with its age but with considerable features still visible. The coin remains a historically important artifact from one of the most dramatic episodes in Jewish antiquity, offering collectors and historians a tangible link to the last great revolt of Judaea against the Roman Empire.
Encased in a certified, barcoded holder by NGC, this coin combines numismatic value with historical depth and authenticity.
Every item in Menorah Galleries is accompanied by a Lifetime Certificate of Authenticity and additional documentation and information regarding the individual artifact and its culture.

Antique Iranian Silver Amulet – Fine Judaica from Persia
Located in New York, NY
This exceptional antique silver amulet from Iran exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and spiritual depth of Persian Jewish heritage. Shaped in an elegant, lobed diamond form with delicately contoured edges, the amulet is engraved with intricate detail, reflecting both artistic sophistication and religious devotion.
At the center, a stylized cartouche is inscribed with Hebrew text, likely invoking divine names or protective blessings — a hallmark of traditional Jewish amulets. Surrounding the central panel, a beautifully flowing engraved border in the form of a pointed arch or mihrab motif lends the piece a sacred architectural presence, often interpreted as a symbolic gateway to divine protection. Further floral and foliate elements are engraved into the design, subtly blending nature with mysticism.
Additional Hebrew inscriptions encircle the inner medallion and appear along the edges, each rendered in clean, carefully etched lines. The amulet features four suspension loops — one at each cardinal point — suggesting it may have once been sewn onto clothing, hung in a home, or worn as a protective charm close to the body.
Rich in symbolism and cultural meaning, this rare Iranian silver...
