From the S. Moussaieff Collection.
The grape bunch of this zuz of the second year (133/4 CE) of the Bar Kokhba War derives from the reverse type of zuzim struck in the first year (132/3 CE). The willow branch reverse type may allude to the first year zuzim which featured a jug with a willow branch on the reverse.
