Rare RM Jewish Judaea Silver Tetradrachm AD 134–135 Hadrian Jewish Uprising

About the Item

This is a rare and historically significant Roman Provincial silver tetradrachm, minted in Jerusalem during AD 134–135, under the rule of Emperor Hadrian. Struck at the height of the Bar Kokhba Revolt—the second major Jewish uprising against Roman authority—this coin is a powerful artifact of resistance and identity from Judaea. The obverse of the coin features a detailed depiction of the Jerusalem Temple façade, complete with columns and a central doorway. Hebrew script appears on either side of the structure, reinforcing its cultural and religious significance during a time of intense struggle. The reverse side displays a symbolic bundle of palm branches and an etrog (citron), which are ritual items associated with the Jewish festival of Sukkot. These elements are surrounded by inscriptions in paleo-Hebrew, expressing both spiritual and nationalistic themes prevalent during the revolt. Graded VF35 (Very Fine) by Independent Coin Graders (ICG), this coin exhibits strong detail and is preserved in a secure, tamper-proof holder. It also comes with the official barcoded box provided by ICG, adding further assurance of its authenticity and provenance. With its origin tied to one of the most pivotal and tragic periods in Jewish-Roman history, this silver tetradrachm stands as a testament to ancient resilience and identity. It is a prized addition for collectors of ancient coinage, Judaica, and Roman imperial history alike. 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.
