Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Æ20 - Domitian and Agrippa II (83-84) from Judea made of Bronze is that it features a rare combination of Roman and Jewish imagery. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of the Roman emperor Domitian, while the reverse side features a depiction of Agrippa II, the Jewish king, along with a menorah and a scroll. This combination of symbols highlights the complex political and cultural dynamics of the region during the 1st century CE, when Judea was under Roman rule.
