Interesting fact
The coin , the Æ13 Herod Agrippa II (60-61) from Judea, is notable for its unique design. On one side, it features a portrait of Herod Agrippa II, the Roman client king who ruled Judea from 50 to 70 AD. On the other side, it depicts a wreath surrounding the Jewish temple in Jerusalem, which was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. This coin was likely minted during the brief period of relative peace between the Romans and the Jews, before the outbreak of the First Jewish-Roman War.
