HASMONEAN, ALEXANDER JANNAEUS AE PRUTAH / WIDOWS MITE
Hendin 6185b, Overstruck type Paleo-Hebrew over rose, cornucopias over anchor, About Extremely Fine, 14.5mm, 1.77 grams
Obverse: Inscription within wreath, "Yehonatan the High Priest and the Council of the Judaeans" in Paleo-Hebrew
Reverse: Double cornucopia adorned with ribbons, pomegranate between horns
These are usually overstruck with little of the original Lily/Anchor type remaining. This coin appears to be struck more side by side with ALL four components, Paleo Hebrew-Rose-Cornucopias-Anchor CLEARLY seen. A very attractive and intriguing example!
