The design of this coin is based on the Tyrian shekel which were coins for Tyre. During the Roman Empire, these coins served as the medium payment for the Temple Tax. Notably, it’s believed that this coin is the same coin Judas received as payment for betraying Jesus. After the Roman Empire shut down the mint in Tyre, rabbis were still allowed to strike these coins in Judaea.
