Herod Antipas, full denomination struck year 29 C.E. in Tiberias (GBC 1203) 12.60 g.
An excellent large denomination of Herod Antipas, well centered and well detailed on both sides. I don't know why the letter Y is quasi invisible at 10:00, but it is present on the die. Remarkably, the 300 dies used by Herod Antipas are all 'certified error-free': There are no major or minor error of any kind in the inscriptions (they are indeed abbreviate on the smallest denominations).
Est. $1,200-1,500
