Details

The first Jewish War started in 66 AD and ended in 70, with the conquest of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple, although a group of famous insurgents kept it in Masada for several years. During this uprising, coins were minted in bronze and silver, of which this prutah from year 2 of the uprising is the most common. The coins bear hopeful inscriptions such as 'The freedom of Zion', 'The redemption of Zion' and 'The Holy Jerusalem'.
