BRITISH MUSEUM. Electrotype.
Original struck c 350 BC. Copying Tarsos, Mazaios. Silver Stater (22mm,
10.07 g). 'BLTRZ' in Aramaic right, Baaltars seated left, holding
eagle-tipped scepter in right hand; grain ear, grape-bunch, and letter in left
field, letter under throne / 'MZDI ZI'L'BRNH RAWHLK' (“Mazaios Governor of
Transeuphrates and Cilicia”) in Aramaic above, lion bringing down bull above a
pair of crenelated walls, each with four towers. Good VF, toned. Edge not
stamped or stamp removed.
The Aramaic inscription on the reverse of the type this electrotype copies
has prompted Biblical coin researcher David Hendin to reconsider the meaning of
this coin type. It traditionally is translated as “Mazaios governor of
Transeuphrates and Cilicia,” but Hendin translates it somewhat differently as
“Mazaios who is over Beyond the River and Cilicia.” The similarity of this
inscription and a descriptive phrase used in two books of the Old Testament
(which was codified at approximately the time this coin was struck) has led to
Hendin’s suggestion that the walls on this coin represent the ones
encompassing Jerusalem, which less than a century before had been rebuilt by
Nehemiah, as related in the Books of Ezra and Nehemiah. (A fuller discussion of
the subject is presented on pages 100-103 of the the 4th edition of Hendin’s
Guide to Biblical Coins.) |
