"For the Freedom of Zion" - Bronze Pruta Year 2 of the Revolt

Read while you listen

During  the second (67–68 CE) and third (68–69 CE) years of the Revolt bronze prutah  coins were also issued, depicting an amphora with the date and the Hebrew  inscription (לחרות ציון) -  "For the Freedom of Zion".

In  the fourth year of the revolt (69–70 CE) mostly bronze coins were minted,  possibly because the supplies of Temple silver were diminishing. The coins  also have the depiction of a chalice, together with symbols of the Jewish  harvest festival of Sukkot, a lulav and etrog, and the date and inscription  "For the Redemption of Zion".
