    I discovered my coin - same type - at a coin show. Small bronze Bar Kochba type Year 3 of the Second Revolt (134/135 CE). Similar motifs : bunch of grapes, and a 7-branched palm tree with clusters of dates (symbolic of land of Israel)
    Year 1: obverse "Elazar ther Priest"; reverse “Year One of the Redemption of Israel,”
    Year 2: obverse "Jerusalem"; reverse “Year Two of the Freedom of Jerusalem"
    Year 3: obverse "Shimon", reverse “For the Freedom of Jerusalem"
