Menorah.

Salem Alshdaifat:
this is realy some thing I like to share in this section, it is a lead Menorah, the special thing about it is, that the reverse is not blank, but it has another Judaean symbol, the Lilly.
nice example.

Wow!

Good finding, Salem. Although I don't recognizing the lily, the menorah is seems very clearly. Do you see the lower part of menorah? Is this tripod? Or just triangle?
What is the origin of this bulla? Jordan?

Explorer

Salem Alshdaifat:
Hi Explorer, it found in Jordan, and the Lily is hard to tell from the photo but in hand you can see it well.
here is clearer veiw.

Salem

Cleisthenes:
Salem,

This is really an interesting and beautiful coin!

Howard Cole:
The reverse doesn't look like any lily I have ever seen.  It looks more like a container (modus, I think is what it is called) with three ears of grain.

Also, isn't this a seal (bula) and not a coin?
