| Reverse description | A tall, narrow lulav (palm branch) flanked by an etrog (citron fruit) on each side occupies the central field, both motifs being iconic symbols of the Jewish festival of Sukkot and of national identity during the revolt. The Hebrew inscription שב לחרות ישראל (Year two of the freedom of Israel) is distributed around the design within a beaded border. The imagery is boldly struck in the characteristic overstruck Bar Kokhba style, with elements of the underlying host coin occasionally visible on the irregular flan. The overall composition is framed by a dotted border in the Roman tradition, adapted to Jewish iconographic and epigraphic conventions. |
