Interesting fact
The ¼ Sheqel coin from Judea, which was minted during Year 4 (69-70), features an image of a pomegranate on one side and a lulav (a bundle of palm fronds) on the other. This design was chosen because the pomegranate and lulav were symbols of fertility and abundance in Jewish tradition, reflecting the idea of prosperity and growth in the Jewish homeland.
