The coin appears to be dated 659 AD.
Acts 5:30
The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree (cross on some bad translations).
The stake was from a wooden tree - with likely two branches sticking out. After they put the nails on both hands and feet - he was left hanging on what essentially was a tree. Just like that coin from the year AD 659 depicts.
That word “cross/tree” in Acts 5:30 is definitely “tree” in the Greek. And that same Greek word is used throughout the “Book of Revelation” in reference to the “Tree of Life”:
Revelation 2:7
To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree (cross?) of life, which is in the paradise of God.
Revelation 22:14
Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree (cross?) of life.
The upside down version of that symbol is sometimes called “Nero’s Cross,” because allegedly it’s how Peter was executed. So it was in the same manner as God in the Flesh - but simply upside down. Therefore - the original symbol - I believe - was indeed a tree symbol. And I believe it was changed sometime after 1000 AD. Probably around 1300 AD (Constantine’s alleged dream of the cross was around 300 AD). Over time they just removed the “1” from 1300 AD and said it was in 300 AD. No way anyone can verify. No pictures - no manuscripts - no internet - no video. Backdating it back to 300 AD adds authenticity.
