On Hendin 6176 the letter he has the form
in the first two lines, but after may take a crude simplified form like an arrow pointed upward 
. On this type, "Yohananan the High Priest" is usually followed only by a few additional apparently meaningless letters.JD99441. Bronze prutah, Hendin 6176, Meshorer TJC E, Sofaer 82 - 113, HGC 10 627, SNG ANS -, BMC Palestine -, aVF, brown tone, highlighting earthen deposits, weight 1.902 g, maximum diameter 14.2 mm, die axis 0o, Jerusalem mint, 134 - 104 B.C.; obverse Paleo-Hebrew inscription: Yehonanan the High Priest...surrounded by wreath; reverse two cornucopias splayed outward, adorned with ribbons, pomegranate or poppy between the horns; from the Michael Arslan Collection; $9.50 (€8.93) 
Lot of 5 Judaean Kingdom, John Hyrcanus I (Yehohanan), 134 - 104 B.C., Struck for Antiochus VII
Struck by John Hyrcanus, King of Judaea, in the name of the Seleukid King Antiochos VII, Euergetes (Sidetes). John Hyrcanus was the son of Simon the Maccabee and nephew of the folk hero Judah Maccabee, the hero of the Hanukkah story. Soon after Hyrcanus assumed power, the Seleukid king marched on Jerusalem. Antiochus VII and Hyrcanus I negotiated a treaty that left Hyrcanus a vassal to the Syrian king. Probably as a conciliatory gesture to the Jews, the lily (a symbol of Jerusalem) replaced the head of the Seleukid king. Later, John Hyrcanus would be the first Jewish ruler to issue coins in his own name.JD114557. Bronze prutah, cf. Houghton-Lorber II 2123, Hendin 6165, HGC 9 1103, Meshorer TJC p. 30, mostly gF, nice attractive specimens, c. 14-15mm, Jerusalem mint, 132 - 130 B.C.; obverse lily on stem with two leaves, dot border; reverse BAΣIΛEΩΣ ANTIOXOY EYEPΓETOY (Greek: of King Antiochus, Benefactor), anchor, upside down, Greek year (of the Seleucid Era) below; $225.00 (€211.50)
Herod Archelaus, Ethnarch of Samaria, Judea, and Idumea, 4 B.C. - 6 A.D.

Judean Kingdom, Herod the Great, 37 - 4 B.C.
This was the first Jewish coin type to feature a graven image - the golden eagle Herod erected above the gate of the Temple. After their Pharisee teachers declared it was idolatrous, a group of young men tore down and smashed the golden eagle. Forty of them, along with their teachers, were captured and brought before Herod. They confessed, explaining they were upholding the laws of Moses. Herod had teachers and leaders burned alive, and all the participants were executed.JD114864.
