    That is a great taler design. You have a nice example - I like the darker toned devices.

    Sheol, as in the Hebrew hell?? Please elaborate. I've been researching the subject in recent years and did not realize it was depicted on coins

    The reverse depicts the rebellion of Korach. Thus, the reference to Numbers 16 below.
    I believe that throughout his time in power, he constantly was beset by opposition and some of his talers reflect that.
    In this taler, he appears to liken himself to Moses and his opponents to Korach's Rebellion, wishing them straight to the nether regions.
