    hyrcanus-combined - Copy.jpg
    Hasmoneian Kingdom of Judaea, John Hyrcanus I AE Prutah. 135-104 BC. Obverse: 'A' monogram, YHO(HH)NN("Yehochanan") H("the") KHN("Priest") H("the") GDL("high") W("and") (HH)BR("Council") H("the") YHWDYM("Jews") Paleo-hebrew within wreath. Reverse: Double cornucopia adorned with ribbons, pomegranate between horns, border of dots. Jerusalem mint. Hendin 1131. Meshorer TJC A.
    A very sharp example of the type with full legend. Click the smaller image above if you'd like a better view of the Paleo-Hebrew script on this one $60

    Alexander Jannaeus. 103-76 B.C.E. Æ prutah (16.2 mm, 2.74 g, 12 h). Legend between rays of star with eight rays within diadem / BAΣIΛEΩΣ AΛEΞANΔPOY, inverted anchor. Hendin 1150; Meshorer TJC K.
    A nice example of the type with full Paleo-Hebrew legends. We don't know exactly what the "widow's mite" mentioned in the bible is but this is one of the contenders as it was a low denomination coin that was in wide circulation in the area at the time. $50
