either a coin of Hyrcanus II, or a coin of Alexander Jannaeus in his later years. He may have changed his name to the deminunitive form in order to break up the YEHO- which is also God's name as a concession to the Pharisees.

Lead_Prutah.jpg
Alexander JannaeusAlexander Jannaeus, 103-76 BC. Lead Prutah/Token, Transjordan mint, 79/78 BCE?, 15.6 mm, 2.7 grams. O: Aramaic legend (King Alexander) in three lines within a dotted circle. R: Anchor in a circle with Greek legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΑΛΕΞΑΝ∆ΡΟΥ (of King Alexander) around. Hendin 1155, reverse appears to be a match with Menorah Coins die #1.

This coin is a bit of a mystery and therefore quite interesting. These were at one one time extremely rare and therefore not believed to be a coin at all but rather a trial specimen or a token used to gain entrance to an establishment. As hoards were discovered, it became apparent that this coin was common (although far more rare than his bronze issues) and in general circulation in the Transjordan.

Although the lead coins are not dated, the similar Aramaic inscription found on the dated prutah of Jannaeus (Hendin 1152, shown in my collection, dated year 25 = 80/79 BCE) indicates it may have been minted around 79 BCE. These are the only types of Jannaeus that have an Aramaic inscription.

The appearance of both Greek and Aramaic on these coins may reflect a softening of Jannaeus (a staunch supporter of the Hellenistic Sadducees) toward the Aramaic speaking Pharasees.

These coins are reminiscent of those issued by Hyrcanus I and Antiochus VII. Restoring the anchor design highlighted his conquest of a number of Mediterranean coastal cities.

Meshorer wrote of the cursive style on this type, "The letters appear is if they were written with pen and ink. They are schematic, elongated, oblique, and very small. Some are so minute as to be little more than points. Although small, the shapes of the letters are simple and quite legible. The inscription is mostly complete and contains no errors."

Rev.: Double cornucopia adorned with ribbons.

Meshorer notes that the legend on Hendin 1144/TJC Group Q coins contain many errors. On this coin the legend errors are: (1) KH/כה instead of KHN/כהן; and (2) YHYM/יהימ instead of YHWDYM/יהודימ. Meshorer also notes that the article H/ה (= the) is often missing. On this coin it is missing before KHN/כהן.

This coin has the following affinities with pre-Jannaeus types, which suggests that it was issued very early during the priesthood of Jannaeus: (1) The letter He = H/ה in the second line and in its first appearance in the fourth line is in the old style, which is typically found on Hendin 1139/TJC Group E coins issued by John Hyrcanus I (134-104 B.C.E.), but is perhaps unrecorded on the coins of Jannaeus; (2) The style of the letter Resh = R/ר is open, which is typical of Hendin 1142/TJC Group V coins issued by Judah Aristobulus I (104-103 B.C.E.); and (3) The word GDL/גדל is written GDWL/גדול, a spelling typical of Hendin 1143/TJC Group U issued by Aristobulus, and also recorded on the majority of legend variations of Hendin 1444/TJC Group Q coins.

Alexander Jannaeus (Yehonatan) AE Prutah. H 1148. Alexander Jannaeus, 103-76 BC, bronze prutah of 13.9 mm, 1.82 grams.

Obverse: Lily with Hebrew inscription "Jonathan the King."

Reverse: Anchor with Greek inscription, "of King Alexander."

When it was issued, this coin was struck in massive numbers. However, during the subsequent rule of Hyrcanus II, the vast majority of them were overstruck, apparently while still in the mint, to create coin Hendin-478. Thus the original lily/anchor type is quite scarce relative to the other Hasmonean prutot.

Obverse legend: Yehonatan HaKohen Gadol V'Ḥaver HaYehudim
Reverse description: Double cornucopiae, ribbons around, pomegranate between horns.
Year: Undated, between 103-76 BCE.
Its interesting that Gadol (high [priest], lit. "big") it spelled with a vav (GDOL), and not just GDL, like its commonly writen. Also, the vav in gadol usually occurs on prutot of Aristobulus.
