JUDAEA, Herodians. Herod IV Philip. 4 BCE-34 CE. Æ (12mm, 1.17 g, 11h). Caesarea Panias (Caesarea Philippi) mint. Dated RY 34 (CE 30/1). Bare head of Herod Philip right / L ΛΔ (date) within laurel wreath. Meshorer 108; Hendin 6263; RPC I 4950; Sofaer 143. Brown and green surfaces, some roughness. Near VF. Very rare.

Herod Philip was the first Jewish ruler to place his portrait on coins. Hendin (p. 257) notes: “Philip was able to immortalize his face on his coins largely because so few Jews lived in the territories over which he ruled. Jews would have taken this act as an insult and violation of the Mosaic Law against ‘graven images.’”
