Levy recorded four citations for half shekels of year 176, ΡΟς. The Institute of Archaeology, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, provided the author with photos of these four half shekels. All coins were worn or struck off-center. None had readable dates. Refer to Section 10.11. RPC1s.4703A had used these half shekels for its listing of a year 176 half shekel. Since no photo of a half shekel with a clear date of year 176 or a reliable citation has been confirmed, the date of this half shekel, year 176, remains unreported.
