JUDAEA. Bar Kokhba Revolt (AD 132-135). AR zuz (18mm, 2.76 gm, 1h). NGC MS 5/5 - 3/5. Undated hybrid Year 1/2 (AD 132/3 and AD 133/4). Sm' (Paleo-Hebrew abbreviation for Simon), name in the form of a triangle; within wreath of thin branches wrapped around eight almonds, medallion at top, tendrils at bottom / Eleazar the priest (Paleo-Hebrew), fluted oinochoe with handle on left; upright willow branch to right. Hendin 1384. Mildenberg 3 (O3/R1). TJC 235.

From the Hadassah Collection. Ex Heritage Auctions, Auction 3056 ANA (3 August 2017), lot 30099; Brody Family Collection (The New York Sale XXXIX, 10 January 2017), lot 68; Superior, Auction (9 December 1994), lot 822

As noted by Hendin on p.388 "while this coin is not dated, the only other use of the Eleazar name on a zuz is combined with a die of the first year. Thus, this must be a hybrid issue of the first and second year rather than a coin of the third year, where other undated issues are assigned."
