(March 4, 2023, Updated January 4, 2025) This is coin was found in a proper archaeological excavation in Jerusalem (Zissu and Ganor 2009). This allows all other coins having similar imagery to also be dated to this same time period.
The lady is the chalice is Kate/Hekate who has the power of life and death. The red Pomegranates represent life.

Previous Hebrew Translation Attempt
This coin has a proposed Hebrew translation by Zissu and Ganor (2009) which is shown below. Our letter assignment differences are in red:
- Ḫ Ṣ Y - half
- E
- Š Q L - shekel
- Y RU ŠLYM - Jerusalem (the R letter assignments here does not match the other R example on this coin so it is a letter assignment made to make the translation which is translation fraud)
- E QDU ŠE - Holy
Jerusalem is spelled two ways in the Hebrew scriptures :
רוּשָׁלַ֫םִ, יְרוּשָׁלַ֫יִם
These are YRUŠLM and YRUŠLYM. The letters on this coin were deliberately miss-assigned to fit this name.
"Holy" in Hebrew is spelled a few ways but always with four letters such as קָדוֺשׁ or QDUŠ. Here letters were deliberately assigned to fit that word while others were ignored.
