Judaea, Johannes Hyrcanus II, TJC T07
John Hyrcanus II (Yonatan), king 67 BC, ethnarch 63-40 BC
AE - Prutah, 2.60g, 17mm
Jerusalem
obv. Paleo-Hebrew legend in 5 lines within laurel-wreath:
ינתן / ה כהן ה / גדל ו חב / ר הדי / מ 
        from r. to l.:
        YNTN / H KHN H / GDL W (Ch)B / R HDY / M(?)
        = Yonatan Ha Kohen Gadol We Chaver Yehudim
        = Yonatan the High Priest and Council of the Jews
rev. Double cornucopiae, decorated with ribbons, pomegranate between horns, in dotted circle
ref. Hendin 478; AJC type I; TJC T7
VF

This coin clearly is an overstruck of Hendin 467. You can see ANDROV BAC around the circle on the rev. 
This type has been reattributed from Hyrcanus II to Alexander Jannaeus by Hendin and Shachar in "The Identity of YNTN on Hasmonean Overstruck Coinas 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)
