Hi all
Judaean coins lovers.
in this section I will put coins from time to time to
help identifying the
Cornucopia Judaean typeswhich is consider as very hard to identify for most dealers and collectors, I notice many mistakes in those coins on line, and
hope this will be a guide to all those who have hard time to identify these coins.
regards
Salem Alshdaifat
Judah Aristobulus I (Yehudah), 104 - 103 B.C.
