The functional public administration was headed by Simon Bar Kokhba, who took the title Nasi Israel (prince of Israel). The "Era of the redemption of Israel" was announced, contracts were signed and coins were minted in large quantity in silver and copper with corresponding inscriptions (all were struck over foreign coins).
