A bronze prutah of Alexander Jannaeus – over-struck
obv: Traces of paleo-Hebrew inscription in wreath: Yehonatan the High Priest and council of the Jews, over-struck on a previous coin depicting lily. Rev.: Traces of double cornucopia with a pomegranate between horns. 2.45 grams, 15 mm. For similar examples see: Ya’akov Meshorer, A Treasury of Jewish Coins (New York 2001), pl. 39 sub-group T After the ‘Maccabaean Revolt’, the Hasmonaean kingdom was founded which lasted for just under a hundred years. The alphabet employed was not the square Hebrew script current at the time, but the script from the First Temple period, implying a connection between the Hasmoneans and the First Temple. The symbols employed show a clear Hellenising trend.
