The theory of over struck on
Mattathias Antigonus is most likely, there is an example on the quarter bronze
shekel from the
Jewish war, and the
Prutah type did has so many
barbaric issues as well, I make the coin brighter and looked at the surface closer n the photo, I dont see from the photo modern casting tracks, the
flan is indeed
judaean style, the over all
style looks
fine except a die shift on the left of the leave , the
red iron oxidation between the letters show a hard Acid cleaning, the edges show a casting method that was used in Mattathias coinage, all these are supporting an ancient coin, but
still when doubts are around a coin it will be for sure better to examin in hand carefully.
