    Bronze Prutah. S-6086. Obverse: Lily with a Hebrew legend around. Reverse: An anchor within a circle with a Greek inscription naming Alexander. As is normal for these coins, only parts of the inscriptions are on the flan. The example illustrated is 14.8 mm. This type closely resembled the Seleukid issues of Antiochos VII (S-7101), which are thought to have been minted in Jerusalem ca 132 BC. It is likely these are one of the earliest issues of the Hasmonaean Dynasty.
