Mattathias Antigonus AE Eight Prutahs. H 1162.Mattathias Antigonus, 40-37 BC, bronze eight prutahs of 23.1 mm, 14.1 grams.
Obverse: Double cornucopias, Hebrew.
Reverse: Greek around wreath.
Especially interesting because the flan was not cast exactly in line, and the stepping is clear on edge.
This is by far the largest coin issued by the Maccabean Kings and it was apparently issued to "compete" with the large bronzes of Herod the Great, whose reign overlapped with Mattathias Antigonus; struck upon a double-thick planchet as is characteristic for this popular type.
Hendin-1162.
