Hello, this one is not so well preserved but looks readable. 1,25 gr, 14 mm.

Many thanks

Dear Amelia!

The 3 letters Nun Tav Nun are a give away. With NTN and 2-3 letters before it can only be YHWNTN,  Yehonatan  (= Alexander Jannaeus)

Here are the rulers:                  from r. to l.
Yehochanan (Johannes Hyrcanus I),    NN(Ch)WHY
Yehuda (Aristobulos I),               DWHY
Yehonatan  (Alexander Jannaeus),      NTNWHY
YONATAN (Johannes Hyrcanus II),    NTNY

For a more specific attribution I think it should be TJC group P, the only group where the 2nd line starts with NTN.

Best regards
Jochen

Amazing Jochen! It totally makes sense.  Now I think I'm getting the idea : D.

Thank you very much!
