Prutah identification 4

Thank you.

Dear Amelia!

A really difficult coin. I'll try another start without first identifying the individual letters.

We have a block of letters in front of us that consists of 4 lines with a strikingly large number of letters, nothing like usual, where the top line has 2, 3, or max. 4 letters.
This arrangement exists only for Yehochanan. In addition, in the first line the third letter from the left is a Chet. Only Yehochanan has this. And it fits that there is only 1 letter above the first line. This is an A, which also only exists in Yehochanan. It is supposed to be a reference to Alexander Zebina.

Then the two first lines of the legend are
A
NN(Ch) WHY

Your coin is Yehochanan (John Hyrcanus I), TJC Group A1

Best regards
Jochen
