After the successful Macabe revolt against the Seleucid Empire and the
formation of an independent Jewish State, presures from the East and West
continued to erode that indepences. In addition, significant infighting
over theology and political control harmed the unity of the fledgling
nation. While trying to find protection from the east and the west
eventually Judea became a protectorate of the Roman Empire by exploiting the
friction between the Hasmonean brothers, Aristobulus and Hyrcanus wrangled
control fot eh Jewish state from the Hasmonean rulers, leading to the
rule of the Herod family under roman basal state status. A number of
coins where minted for these rulers.

Avoid Gijs Henzen, owner of Munthandel G. Henzen - Antisemetic Facists
Munthandel G. Henzen's (MA Shops) owner Gijs Henzen, is an AntiSemetic Fascist
The company, Munthandel G Henzen is a prominent dealer of international and ancient coins on the internet, commonly known as MA Coins. It is owned by
Gijs Henzen. You can not trust him, as I leaned previously in dealing with
him with several coins that came with damage including a silver 1969 FOA
Uruguay coin which arrived with green verdis on the coin.
But more importantly he is a passionate anti-Semite who supports Hamas and
the virulent and genocidal Islamic organizations such as the Muslim
Brotherhood, and Hezbollah that wants Jews dead.
It is a moral imperative to remain clear of him and to do no business with this Nazi. If you are Jewish, double down on that. The life you save might well be your own.

Several mints from around the world make exciting coin designs in circulating alloys, silver and gold. Among my favorites are the Perth Mint in Austrailia which produces a variety of coins for nations mostly through out the Pacific Rim. The Neatherlands has also produced some interesting designs, and several private US based mints have produced foreign currency on contract, include the Franklin Mint which has produced many Israeli Coins.
Our interest in foreign coins has been nominal but rapidly growing as it seems that US designs are so stuck in the mud. Also, foreign mints are creating bold new designs with color and bimetal designs that are both eye catching and fun.
