<p>[QUOTE="Slim Pickins, post: 824079, member: 23738"]This one is kinda hard to tell because of the wear on the reverse or maybe it's just a fuzzy pic. But if I had to guess I'de say it was either a Barbarour Bronze Prutah from the Hasmonaean dynasty dating around 103-76 BC...or possibly a John Aristobulus II dating back to 67-64 BC. The double cornucopia with the pomegranate in between them is very prominent on this coin but as I was saying the reverse of the coin has some wear and is hard to make out from the pic. I hope this helps a little and might point you in the right direction for further research. I'm sure that having it in your hand you could make a better call than I could from just looking at a few pics online. If you run a search on the two coins mentioned I bet you would find what you're looking for. I have some Judaic prutahs in my collection too but only a few so I kinda have an idea on how to ID them. If you can take a more detailed pic on the reverse of this coin I may be able to narrow it down further. Very nice coin!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
