I've finalty found an internet picture of the coin! So, I've taken down the link above!
Here's a Jerusalem coin of like 400 B.C. of Yehwey. Who says the Jews didn't make art of concepts and historical events they thought were big? And if so, why didn't they make any Jesus Christ coins?
- This is a Jewish coin 55 B.C. "In about 55 BC the Roman moneyer Aulus Plautius issued a denarius with a peculiar reference to Judaism in its reverse inscription. Its obverse bears a turreted head of Cybele, probably a reference to the Megalesian games, sponsored by Rome's curule aediles, a title Plautius included on his coin. The reverse shows a man kneeling aside a camel, extending an olive branch to a Roman soldier. The legend inscribed on the reverse, of which 150 different die types are known, is "BACCHIVS IVDAEUS"
