The coins were simple in design A lion was the typical image as it represented royalty and dominance.  On the back of the coin were 2 nondescript punch marksThe coin's value was based on metallic value and weight. Imagine what these coins witnessed in ancient history several hundred years before Jesus Christ walked the earth.
