55872	1	Bar Kokhba, Zuz overstrike, ex: Samel collection AR Zuz, 3.30g. 19mm. Undated, attributed to year 3=134/135 A.D. Overstruck on a denarius of Vitellius(?). Paleo-Hebrew, "Simon" within wreath . Rev. Paleo-Hebrew, "For the freedom of Jerusalem." One-handled fluted jug; laurel branch to right. Mildenberg 104.7(this coin listed). Hendin 1422. Meshorer 283a. Toned. This is quite an unusual overstrike. On the reverse there is the typical low relief under-type showing the outline of a head. In addition there is a high relief and well defined eye, nose, mouth, and chin that is under the ribs of the vase. The host coin was probably struck twice or with a glancing blow in order to have the under-type visible in two reliefs. The undertype appears to be a denarius of Vitellius, but it is not a certain attribution. Pedigree/Provenance: Ex: Josef Samel collection, published by Meshorer and Overbeck, Das Heilige Land.
