A bronze prutah of John Hyrcanus
Obv.: Paleo-Hebrew inscription in wreath: Yehohanan the High Priest and council of the Jews. Some of the letters are schematic, and the letter Nun is designed as a simple stroke ( ![114]()
).Rev.: Double cornucopia with a pomegranate between horns. The inscription is complete and clear. 1.74 grams, 14 mm, axis 12. For a similar example see: Ya’akov Meshorer, A Treasury of Jewish Coins (New York 2001), pl. 10 sub-group D4. After the ‘Maccabaean Revolt’, the Hasmonaean kingdom was founded which lasted for just under a hundred years. The alphabet employed was not the square Hebrew script current at the time, but the script from the First Temple period, implying a connection between the Hasmoneans and the First Temple. The symbols employed show a clear Hellenising trend.
