This modern Israeli coin is a tribute to a larger module (size) inflation era emergency coin of Jerusalem. The ancient coin of unknown denomination (speculated to be a 1/4 shekel) was issued in the fourth year of the First Revolt (Sept 69 - Sept 70 A.D.). The legend is "Ligullath Zion" (deliverance of Zion), this being the last year of the rebellion that was soon to end in defeat. The central theme is a citron plant beween two bundles of twigs, the other side would have shown a large cup.
