I obtained a few of these in much better condition eventually. </font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><b>Antigonus II Mattathias</b></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><b>(Hebrew: מתתיהו אנטיגונוס השני‎‎, Matityahu)</b></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia">This coin was minted under the last Hasmonean king of Judaea. Antigonus came to an unfortunate end and was either beheaded, crucified, or both by the Romans in 37 BC. These are interesting in that the flans were created from molds with two halves which rarely aligned.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia">[ATTACH=full]673368[/ATTACH] </font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
