EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and historically significant coin from Judea, providing us with a glimpse into the ancient world. The coin, belonging to a private collection, was created by the Jewish School and dates back to the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus, King of Egypt (309-246 BC). The obverse side of the coin features an intricately detailed bust of Ptolemy II Philadelphus himself. This portrayal offers insight into his appearance and serves as a testament to his power and influence during that era. On the reverse side, we are greeted by an eagle alongside an inscription in ancient Hebrew that reads "Yehudah" or Judah. As we marvel at this artifact's craftsmanship and historical significance, it is important to note its role as currency in ancient times. This silver coin would have been used for various transactions within Judea's economy. Through this print captured by eZev Radovan and made available through Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate not only the beauty but also the cultural importance of this piece. It serves as a tangible link between our modern world and the rich history that came before us.
