Can anybody identify these symbols, know what they mean, or translate?

I've got no idea, but I bought it anyway . . . . . .

    Replica of Ancient Jewish coin with ancient Hebrew inscription reading “half (of) the shekel” and ‘1’ above the center picture of washing basin (or some type of Temple object) representing the first year of the 5 year revolt of the Jews against the Romans.
    The half shekel coin was a biblically required annual contribution to the holy Jewish temple.

    Sorry for being so brief.

    The image above is the reverse of a really cool Masonic penny that I picked up.

    Here is the obverse.
