Original Commentary

God on the Winged Wheel coin

4th century BCE depiction of YHWH seated in a winged chariot (see Ezekiel 1). Inscribed on the side of the seated figure are Phonecian or proto-Hebrew letters, "YHW" or "YHD", probably referring to Yahweh. A large bird is rested on the arm of the deity.

On the reverse side, a portrait of a figure wearing a helmet.

Produced in 4th century Judea (present-day Gaza).
