Interesting fact
The Sheqel (Year 1) coin from Judea, which was minted between 66-67 CE, features an image of a pomegranate on one side and a lulav (a bundle of palm fronds) on the other. This design was chosen to symbolize the Jewish tradition of using the pomegranate and lulav during the festival of Sukkot, which celebrates the harvest season. The coin's design serves as a visual representation of the Jewish people's connection to their faith and cultural traditions.
