Yehud hemiobol struck 295-290 B.C.E. in Jerusalem (GBC 1063) 0.37 g.
Two months ago, in our auction 80, we were lucky to offer the famous Yehud coin type with the Ear (GBC 1061, see archives 2015). In our description, we were talking about the 4 'patriotic' Yehud coin types: GBC 1060 (lily), GBC 1061 (Ear), GBC 1062 (shofar) & GBC 1063 (incense burner). The coin we offer today is the one with the incense burner. As rare as the type with the Ear (20 recorded examples), this type is generally affected by the same problems: poorly struck and poorly preserved. However, the incense burner is very nice on this piece, with a realistic flame. Uncleaned.
Est. 1,500-2,000
