Mosaic Law forbade the use of 'graven images'. For this reason, previous Jewish rulers had refrained from placing their images on coins. Herod IV Philip broke with this tradition and depicted himself on his coinage in the Hellenistic style, effectively rendering this the first Jewish portrait. It was struck in 30/1 CE, which was also very likely the time Jesus preached in Judaea.
