A bronze prutah of Alexander Jannaeus
obv: Anchor surrounded by Greek inscription AΛEΞA[NΔP]OY BAΣIΛEΩΣ (of King Alexander). Rev.: Eight points star in diadem; between the rays, paleo-Hebrew inscription 121 (Yehonatan the King). 2.18 grams, 16 mm. Cf. Ya’akov Meshorer, A Treasury of Jewish Coins (New York 2001), pl. 25 sub-group K3 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.
