Pilate LH Date?
« on: October 08, 2005, 08:22:47 am »
I found this in a small group of Pilate coins I recently bought.
It looks like it could be a Pilate date variation of LH not LIH.

What do you think?

Dave

Prutah Hendin 650 - Variation?
Obverse: Lituus surrounded by TIBEPIOY KAICAPOC
Reverse: Date within wreath LIH (Year 18 (=31/2 AD))

It certainly looks like it. Hendin doesn't mention this one, but my guess is that it's an error. He illustrates a completely retrograde example, and a couple which are really crude, so some of the engravers can't have been too competent.

I suggest visting this website:  http://www.menorahcoinproject.org/

Pontius Pilate varieties are listed by die.

When I tried earlier it was downloading so slowly I lost patience as I had to go out. I don't see the die, at least on a quick look, but it's similar to the ones listed under 'extremely crude inscription'. There are loads and it could be in there somewhere.

Here is the specific page:  http://www.menorahcoinproject.org/h_650v.htm

I didn't look for a die match because I don't have time but there is very good chance you will find one.

Thanks Joe, Robert

There are a few listed there.  I think this coin can have pride of place in my Pilate collection!
