Kurzfassung:
Arguments have been presented by Donald T. Ariel (2011) for the minting of the “year two” and “year three” bronze units (prutot) by John of Gischala’s faction and its Zealot allies. These coins bear the hallmark of a procuratorial issue in their design. The exceptional “year four” silver quarter sheqel similarly owes its design to two linked procuratorial coins, so if John of Gischala (Gush Ḥalav) was behind the minting the abovementioned bronzes one wonders if the same applied to these rare and short-lived quarter sheqels. The choice of the specific procuratorial issues for these coin types is also discussed.
