Hendin's Guide to Biblical Coins did not assign this very rare "classical style" Rosh variant a Hendin number until the sixth edition, printed in 2021. Meshorer's A Treasury of Jewish Coins includes it as part of type I, along with Rosh types with a wedge style Paleo-Hebrew inscription.

Nun Judean_nun_3 (N) appears as a vertical line Judean_nun_7. Res Judean_rosh_3 (R) usually has an open top Judean_rosh_1. The inscription includes Rosh Judean_shin_1Judean_alef_5Judean_rosh_3 (Rosh) meaning head. The inscription reads, from right to left, as follows: YHW/(HH)NN (Yehohanan) H (the) KHN (Priest) H (the) / GDL (high) R'(SH) (head) / (HH)BR (council) H (the) YH/DHYM (Jews). See Reading |Judean |Coins in NumisWiki.
