MENORAH COIN PROJECT

Arthur Shippee forwarded the following from the Explorator
newsletter about a web site on ancient Israelite coinage by
Jean-Philippe Fontanille:.

"First of all, I am pleased to announce you that I won the
2004 Norman W. Wagner Award, yearly awarded by the
Canadian Society of Biblical Studies for my works on the
Menorah Coin Project website.

There are 3 new items added on MCP this month. They are
magnificent and extremely rare coins minted under Agrippa
I: H546. As you will remark, the pictures are larger than the
usual size pictures used on MCP because the letters are small
and the patterns are showing many fine details.

Also, a very large number of specimens has been added in
all the categories."
