I believe it may be Judah Aristobulus I (Yehudah), 104 - 103 B.C., Hendin 6179 but this one is a little obscure. I put it up in the shop and one of our members emailed to say I am wrong. I pulled it from the shop. Agree, disagree? And are you confident?

I would attribute this to Hyrcanus I. I think the fourth letter from the right is a het, and I see traces of two nunim to the left of that. The he on the far right of the second row is probably the definite article ("the high priest...").
