Rare Bar Kochba coin for sale

Winner’s auction house is offering a unique item for sale: a silver shekel from the 4th year of the Bar Kochba rebellion against the Roman occupation of Judea.  The coin is rare as silver for minting coins was in short supply then.  It is expected to fetch between $28,000 and $32,000.
