| Description |
The last of the Hasmonean dynasty that ruled
ancient Israel for almost a century, Mattathias
Antigonus was a remarkable personality. Though
his brief reign was filled with political struggle,
his coinage focuses on images of peace and
abundance. On this bronze coin, an inscription
reading “Mattathias The High Priest And The
Hever Of The Jews” surrounds a cornucopia
representing wealth and plenty. Set in a ring of
bright gold, it evokes a pivotal era in history. To
wear this splendid jewel today is to link ourselves
to the lives of the men and women who first held
this coin centuries ago.
