Bidspirit | Subasta de vehículos | A representative lot of Hasmonaean | 2/9/2015 Winner'S

A representative lot of Hasmonaean coins of different types - The lot is including coins of John Hyrcanus, Alexander Jannaeus, Judah Aristobulus and Mattathias Antigonus. 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.
