Historical Significance

  • Minted by Jewish rebels during the Great Revolt, this coin was part of a campaign to assert independence and spiritual identity.

  • The inscription “שקל ישראל” (Shekel of Israel) and the chalice symbolize religious purity and national pride.

  • The reverse side features a staff with three pomegranate buds and the inscription “ירושלים הקדושה” (Jerusalem the Holy)—a declaration of sacred sovereignty.
