This Judean bronze coin, dated to 132-135 CE, features a palm tree on one side and an inscription on the other. The palm tree, a symbol of Judea, likely represents the region's resilience and prosperity. The coin, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a fascinating example of ancient numismatics and a testament to the artistry of Judean coin makers.
