A set of Jewish War Prutot of BOTH years. The year two has a variant style "Mem" letter atop the amphora, and is certainly not easy to find with this complete an inscription! And in general year three prutot (with the lid on amphora) are significantly scarcer than their year two counterparts.
Ex: VJM Collection, NJ Formed 1970's - early 2000's. The year two prutah purchased from David Hendin (Amphora) in 1976
