Judaea AE Prutah First Jewish Revolt 2nd Year (AD 67/68) NGC

Own a certified bronze Prutah from the Second Year (AD 67/68) of the First Jewish Revolt against Rome, authenticated and slabbed by NGC. This powerful historical artifact comes from one of the most defining—and tragic—chapters in ancient Jewish history.

The First Jewish Revolt (AD 66–70) erupted in response to oppressive Roman taxation and religious tensions under Emperor Nero’s rule. Early successes gave the rebels hope for independence, but the full force of Rome soon descended upon Judaea. The revolt ultimately ended in catastrophe, culminating in the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem and the desperate final stand at Masada.

Coins like this bronze Prutah were minted by the Jewish rebels themselves as a bold statement of autonomy. Typically featuring inscriptions in ancient Hebrew and symbols such as amphorae, pomegranates, or palm branches, these coins celebrated Jewish culture and resistance during a time of great upheaval.

Issued during the revolt’s second year, this Prutah serves as a tangible reminder of the hopes, struggles, and resilience of a people fighting for survival against one of the world’s most powerful empires.

Certified by NGC, this coin is guaranteed authentic and preserved for future generations. It is an essential addition for collectors of Judaean coins, biblical history, or those seeking artifacts that tell the story of a people's enduring spirit.
