JUDAEA. Bar Kokhba Revolt (AD 132-135). AR sela (25mm, 14.44 gm, 1h). NGC AU 3/5 - 5/5, overstruck. Undated issue of Year 3 (AD 134/5). Simon (Paleo-Hebrew) on two sides, star above façade of the Jerusalem Temple, the Ark of the Covenant seen from end in center of entrance / For the Freedom of Jerusalem (Paleo-Hebrew), lulav with etrog at left. GBC 6, 6439. GBC 5, 1411. The host coin clearly displays the emperor facing left on the reverse and an eagle standing left on the obverse.
