Bronze Bar Kokhba Prutah Coin Necklaces

Wear a piece of ancient history. 

A bronze coin found in an archeological dig in Israel, selected by me from the collection of a Jerusalem coin dealer I have known since I was 4 years old, is custom framed in a burnished sterling silver bezel to show both sides and suspended on an 18" oxidized sterling silver rope chain. 

Minted in the second year of the Jewish revolt against Roman occupation and domination of Judea in 67-68CE , the front of this coin shows a narrow necked amphora, such as those used to hold oil in the recaptured and reconsecrated Temple (the story of Hanukkah), along with the inscription "year two". The obverse of the coin shows a vine branch with leaf and tendrils, and the inscription "deliverance of Zion". 

Note that coins minted by Jews never show people, instead using symbols such as amphorae or date palms, instantly identifiable as Judaic symbols. 

Pendant measures 15/16" in diameter by 3/16" thick and weighs .5 ounce, suspended from an 18" oxidized rope chain necklace. Comes with a certificate of authenticity from the numismatist in Jerusalem. 

Coin from Israel, pendant custom made in MA, chain made in the US.
