I found one that is very similar it was described as a coin of the Second Revolt of the Jews against Rome, under Simon Bar Kokhba (or Cochba) in AD 132-5.The obverse side depicts the facade of the Second Temple of Jerusalem, destroyed by the Romans during the First revolt in 70 AD, which Bar Kokhba was determined to restore, and bears the name Simon in Old Hebrew letters. The reverse depicts a lulav (palm branch bundle) and ethrog (citron), and reads "Year 2 of the Freedom of Israel" (133 AD). (Cp. Leo Mildenberg, The Coinage of the Bar Kokhba War
