Prutah attribution help needed--can't read archaic Hebrew

    This prutah is well-preserved and it's inscription is largely complete, well-centered, and legible. In theory, it should be easy to attribute. The problem is, I can't read the thing. Alexander Jannaeus? John Hyrcanus I? Anyone have a Hendin number? Meshorer Group? I'd really appreciate it.

    And feel free to show off your prutot, too!

    Prutot are total boss!

    I'm taking a total shot in the dark, but I think it could be Hendin 1144.

    Keep in mind, I'm one of the worst at attributing coins. :p

    To make up for it, here's one of mine:

    Looking at other examples online, such as at Forum and Vcoins, I think you're right! Alexander Jannaeus, Hendin 1144.
