    Does it count if I include coins whose native language did not have vowels? Ancient persian and Sogdian did not have vowels, so whatever they called their coins had to be vowelless. :)

    Not the name of a coin, but of God. The coin that these are on are prutot and leptons mainly.

    You're right, its not God but OTOH Yehud coinage is what we call the series. We simply do not know the names of many bronzes coins in the near east. So this series is called Yehud by us because of the categorization we use, but if I had to guess I would guess they were probably known locally as prutah. Prutah is a very common name in that area of the world and era, not restricted to Jewish coins.

    Btw, though, prutah was prth, so still without vowels. Ancient semitic was similar to ancient Persian and other middle eastern languaegs that did not spell out the vowels. So either way you could still be right sir! :)

    Here are a few. The first is a traditional looking coin from Sogdia, the second a kidarite dirhem, and the third a cash sogdian coin. None of the legends contain vowels.
