<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TuckHard, post: 3757607, member: 102653&quot;]Hello! I recently bought my first ancient Judaean coins recently and wanted to share and ask for advise. They&#039;re all pretty rough but it was a pretty nice deal and I like a good challenge. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1007048[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>AE Prutah issued under <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Jannaeus" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Jannaeus" rel="nofollow">Alexander Jannaeus</a>, King of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasmonean_dynasty" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hasmonean_dynasty" rel="nofollow">Hasmonean Dynasty</a></p><p>103-76 BC</p><p>1.88g 14mm</p><p><br /></p><p>Alexander Jannaeus was the second ruler of the Hasmonean Dynasty, a kingdom that began its rule over the Judea region on behalf and under the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seleucid_Empire" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seleucid_Empire" rel="nofollow">Seleucid Empire</a>. By the time Alexander began his rule in 103 BC, however, the Hasmoneans ruled independently. Alexander was a great warrior king and spent most of his rule engaged in battle and eventually died at siege.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And now that I&#039;ve got you, I&#039;d like to request help on these three coins. I believe that the first one, the smallest, is a widow&#039;s mite but it is lacking a lot of detail and was very hard to photo.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1007080[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1007082[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1007081[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
