Estimated Value $500 - UP The grape bunch and kinnor combination of this undated zuz continue types first introduced for the silver denomination in the second year (133/4 CE) of the Bar Kokhba War. Although this specimen is complete, some examples appear to have been cut in antiquity. Some commentators have considered the cutting to have been a means of invalidating the coins after the disastrous conclusion of the war while others have suggested that they simply represent an expedient for making change. Problematic for the invalidation theory is the fact that so few cut coins are known, but at the same time cut fractional coinage is also a great rarity in the ancient world once coin usage became firmly established.
