Judean Roman Herodian Coins

Sun Nov 3 21:57:20 2024

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.

The Safir Family Internet Coin Library: Foriegn Coins.

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.
