Hasmonean Prutah Hendin 6172 or 6174?
« on: March 26, 2023, 05:56:22 pm »
My consignor says this Hasmonean prutah is Hendin 6172. I think it might be Hendin 6174? He knows the coins and is usually right. Anyone else have an opinion?

The obverse looks like H6174, but the reverse looks like H6172. Any chance it is a rwsh type, 6168?

Thanks Aarmale.

I have never tried to ID them from the reverses. Hmm. 

I will look at it again soon and compare to Hendin 6168.

Hi,

If it is still relevant, this looks like the ROSH type of Hyrcanus I with the "chiseled" type inscription. The letter 'vav' is at the end of the third line, but the letter 'het' of HVR is only in the middle of the fourth line, separated from the 'vav' by three illegible letters. So my guess is that this coin is what used to be called h1137 (I'm not used to the new numbers yet).
