Herod Antipas, half denomination struck year 33 C.E. in Tiberias (GBC 1212) 4.43 g.
A specimen of exceptional quality on both sides, as beautiful as one of the two finest known we offered in our auction 44 (Dec. 2012, see our archives) and much better than the GBC and TJC plate coins (GBC 1212, TJC 88). Even if it is one of the most "common" coin types of Antipas, it always comes in a terrible condition (to compare to the 89 examples listed to date, visit MenorahCoinProject.org). Struck from the pair of dies O1-R1.
Est. $2,000-2,500
