  • Description: This ancient coin originates from Judaea and dates back to 135-104 B.C.E. It marks the first coins struck under Jewish direction. Issued by John Hyrcanus I, son of Simon the Maccabee and nephew of the revered figure Judah Maccabee, who served as a vassal king under the Greek Seleucid king Antiochus VII. As a gesture of goodwill and compromise, John Hyrcanus I was granted the right to mint coins featuring Jewish symbols and abstaining from depicting human or animal imagery. These coins were exclusively used in Judaea and were minted in Jerusalem between 132-130 B.C.E. This bronze prutah weighs 2 grams and measures 15 mm in diameter. The obverse side features an anchor, symbolizing the Seleucids, with Greek script indicating "king Antiochus benefactor", in VF (Very Fine) condition. On the reverse side, there's a lily within a dotted border. The coin comes with guaranteed authenticity.
