ISRAEL: AV 5 sheqalim, 1984/JE5744, KM-132, Holy Land Sites - Herodion, contains 1/4 troy ounce of pure gold, Proof, ex William M. Rosenblum. From the Israel Government Coins and Medals Corp., "Herod, a Jew of Edomite origin, reigned as King, under Roman patronage, for 33 years from 37 B.C.E. until 4 B.C.E. He was known as "The Builder King". Some of the building projects attributed to him are the Temple in Jerusalem, the port-city of Caesarea and fortresses such as Masada and Cypros.Herodion is the only palace which immortalizes Herod's name. It commemorates the King's decisive battle there against the last Hasmonean King. In that battle, Herod, though showing great courage, almost perished in combat. Herodion is at the edge of the Judean Desert, east of Bethlehem and somewhat south of Jerusalem. Unique for its size and lavishness, it is the third largest palace to be discovered in the entire Roman world."
