<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1410194, member: 26302&quot;]This is from Hendin&#039;s 3rd edition. He has a newer edition out, but hopefully the numbers have stayed the same. </p><p><br /></p><p>Your bottom coin is 661 AE prutah of the Jewish War, (year two). AJC II, 260,12. 67/68AD</p><p>O Amphora with broad rim and two handles</p><p>R Vine leaf on small branch</p><p><br /></p><p>Top row right:</p><p><br /></p><p>Hendin 553 Agrippa I year 6, struck 41/42 AD AJC II 249,11</p><p>AE Prutah </p><p>O umbrella like canopy</p><p>R 3 ears of barley growing between two leaves</p><p><br /></p><p>Top row center</p><p><br /></p><p>Hendin 505 Herod Archelus AE Prutah AJC II 241,6&nbsp; 4BC-6AD</p><p>O Bunch of grapes and vine</p><p>R Tall helmet with crest and cheek straps</p><p><br /></p><p>The first one top row I cannot make out. It is from the ancient jewish kings of the Hasmonean dynasty, about 150-70 BC, but without further cleaning cannot be sure of which one. Its a AE prutah as the denomination.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helps. Btw the AJC numbers are another attribution to Ancient Jewish Coinage II by Meshorer. That number would not change regardless of the Hendin number has.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw I think the Jewish war one is probably the most valuable. Not very rare, but very historical and a pretty coin. Next would be the Herod Archelus, he did not rule that long or put out that many coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
