Very interesting type
« on: February 13, 2006, 01:46:21 pm »
Hi all,

At the first view this coin is looks like unlisted type:
on one side hebrew inscription:
Yenatan the High Priest and the Council of the Jews
on the other side anchor within circle with greek inscription:
BASILEWS ALEXANDROU.

But after detailed study, you can see the remains of lily under hebrew inscription.

So, I suppose that it is Hyrcanus II pruta overstrucked on Yanneus anchor and star coin.

What you think about this?

Regards,

I agree with explorer.  It seems that there is a slight sign of the lily underneath the writing.  However, I could be wrong...

If you look at the 7 o'clock position on the anchor side, it looks like there is an undertype of an old anchor from the original coin.
