From Forum Ancient Coins, thanks!

This type is overstruck on type TJC N (legend over lily, cornucopiae over anchor)

This type has been reattributed from Hyrcanus II to Alexander Jannaeus by Hendin and Shachar in `The Identity of YNTN on Hasmonean Overstruck Coins and the Chronology of the Alexander Jannaeus Types,` Israel Numismatic Research 3, 2008: 87-94. It appears this type was overstruck on earlier coins of Alexander Jannaeus that had never been released from the mint. (FAC)
