shekel-Syria

Judas was probably paid 30 shekels, one of which may have been of the type in this picture. This Syrian tetradrachm (shekel) was issued by the Romans in 46-40 B.C. copying the design issued under Philip Philadelphos, 93-83 B.C., but on a smaller coin. On the back side Zeus is holding Nike.
