Hendin 1132; TJC grp. A. Earthen-brown patina. Choice Very Fine. Estimate Value $100 - 130 From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection. This prutah features the distinctive types - a Paleo-Hebrew legend enclosed within a wreath on the obverse, and a double cornucopiae with poppy on the reverse - that would be associated with the Hasmonean dynasty from the time of John Hyrcanus I until the disastrous reign of Mattathias II Antigonus (40-37 BCE). It was even resurrected by Herod the Great as means of establishing his connection to the Hasmonean house and giving himself an air of legitimacy as its successor.

Lot 1426		4-piece lot of Bronze Prutot of John Hyrcanus I. All have the inscription 'Yehohanan the High Priest and the Council of the Jews' within wreath with a Greek A above on the obverse, double cornucopiae adorned with ribbons, pomegranate between horns on the reverse. Hendin 1132. Each with full legends. Extremely Fine. Estimate Value $250 - 300 The Brody Family Collection. View details	Realized $294
Lot 1427		Judaea, Hasmonean Kingdom. John Hyrcanus I (Yehohanan). Æ 1/2 Prutah (0.63 g), 134-104 BCE. Jerusalem. 'Yehohanan the High Priest and the Council of the Jews' (Paleo-Hebrew) in two lines above and below palm branch. Rev. Lily between two grain ears, within circular beaded border. Cf. TJC grp. C (all with monogram to left of lily); Hendin 1134a. Nice reddish-brown patina. About Extremely Fine. Estimate Value $300 - 400 The Brody Family Collection; Purchased privately at the NYINC, December 1990. It is unclear whether the palm branch on this and the following coin should be interpreted as a Jewish ritual object or as an emblem celebrating one or more of John Hyrcanus' many victories over the Seleukids and other neighboring peoples who were opposed to in-creasing Hasmonean power in the region. The lily on the reverse serves as the emblem of Jerusalem and perhaps a cipher for John Hyrcanus I himself. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $617
Lot 1428		Judaea, Hasmonean Kingdom. John Hyrcanus I (Yehohanan). Æ 1/2 Prutah (0.59 g), 134-104 BCE. Jerusalem.

Lot 1431		Judaea, Hasmonean Kingdom. John Hyrcanus I. Æ Double Prutah (4.13 g), 134-104 BCE. Uncertain Samarian mint(?). 'Yehohanan the High Priest and Head of the Council of the Jews' (Paleo-Hebrew), double cornuacopiae adorned with ribbons, within circular beaded border. Reverse: Macedonian helmet with high crest and cheek guards right, within circular beaded border; in lower left field, monogram. Hendin 1136; TJC grp. H. An important rarity. Desert green patina. Very Fine. Estimate Value $5,000 - 6,000 The Brody Family Collection; Purchased privately from H. Kriendler, January 1993. The types of this rare coin depart dramatically from the usual iconographic repertoire of John Hyrcanus I. The parallel double cornucopiae is distinct from the splayed double cornucopiae of Hyrcanus' main coinage with its apparent associations with the priesthood of the Jerusalem Temple. Here the parallel cornucopiae and the Macedonian cavalry helmet may be derived from the roughly contemporary coinage of the Seleukid usurper, Alexander II Zabinas (128-122 BCE). Josephus (AJ 33.9.3) tells us that Hyrcanus and Zabinas were on friendly terms, presumably because both had an interest in defending their claims to power against the legitimate kings of the Seleukid dynasty.

Lot 1432		Judaea, Hasmonean Kingdom. John Hyrcanus I. Æ Prutah (2.12 g), 134-104 BCE. Jerusalem. 'Yehohanan the High Priest and Head of the Council of the Jews' (Paleo-Hebrew; wedge-style characters) in six lines within wreath. Reverse: Double cornucopiae adorned with ribbons, pomegranate between horns; no monogram. Cf. Hendin 1137; cf. TJC grp. I. Very Rare and unpublished variety. Earthen green patina. Choice Very Fine. Estimate Value $250 - 300 The Brody Family Collection; Purchased privately, December 1991. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $138
Lot 1433		Judaea, Hasmonean Kingdom. Judah Aristobulus I. Æ Prutah (2.34 g), 104-103 BCE. Jerusalem. 'Yehudah the High Priest and the Council of the Jews' (Paleo-Hebrew; wedge-style letters) in five lines within wreath. Reverse: Double cornucopiae adorned with ribbons, pomegranate between horns, within circular beaded border. Hendin 1142; TJC grp. V. Brown-green patina. Very Fine. Estimate Value $400 - 500 The Brody Family Collection; Purchased privately from D. Hendin, December 1988. Similarities to the engraving of some of John Hyrcanus I's coins have led to the conclusion that this issue was the earliest struck in the name of his son, Judas Aristobulus I. The coinage of his brief and cruel ruler is typologically indistinguishable from those of his father although they name Judas (Yehudah) as the issuing authority along with the Council of the Jews.

Lot 1434		Judaea, Hasmonean Kingdom. Judah Aristobulus I (Yehudah). Æ Prutah (1.88 g), 104-103 BCE. Jerusalem.

Lot 1436		Judaea, Hasmonean Kingdom. Judah Aristobulus I (Yehudah). Æ Prutah (2.06 g), 104-103 BCE. Jerusalem. 'Yehudah the High Priest and the Council of the Jews' (Paleo-Hebrew; block-style letters) in four lines within wreath. Reverse: Double cornucopiae adorned with ribbons, pomegranate between horns, within circular beaded border. Hendin 1143; TJC grp. U. Dark brown desert patina. Choice Very Fine. Estimate Value $100 - 130 From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection. The engraving of this emission of Judas Aristobulus I has linked it to early issues in the name of his brother and successor, Alexander Jannaeus (103-76 BCE). It is remarkable that these evidently late coins still refer to Aristobulus I only as High Priest when Josephus clearly states that he was the first of the Hasmonaean rulers to claim the title of king. This coinage may perhaps stand as evidence against whatever textual source Josephus used to craft his rather melodramatic account of the rule of Aristobulus I.

Lot 1443		Judaea, Hasmonean Kingdom. Alexander Jannaeus (Yehonatan). Æ Prutah (1.79 g), 103-76 BCE. Jerusalem. 'Yehonatan the King' (Paleo-Hebrew), lily, within circular beaded border. Reverse: [B]AΣIΛEΩ AΛE[ΞANΔPOY], inverted anchor within circle. Hendin 1148; TJC grp. N. Dark brown patina. Extremely Fine. Estimate Value $200 - 250 From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection. This emission seems to look back to the Seleukid coinage struck by John Hyrcanus I for his ostensible overlord, the Seleukid king Antiochos VII Sidetes in 132-130 BCE. Both feature a lily on the obverse as a symbol of Jerusalem and an anchor as a badge of royal (Seleukid) authority. Here, however, Jannaeus seems to use it as a means of indicating his legitimacy as the successor to the now feeble and virtually extinct line of Seleukid kings. It is no accident that the Paleo-Hebrew legend appears alongside the Jewish emblem of the lily while the Greek legend is associated with the anchor. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $235
Lot 1444		4-piece lot of Bronze Prutot of Alexander Jannaeus. All have the inscription 'Yehonatan the King' flanking a lily on the obverse, and the Greek legend BAΣIΛEΩΣ AΛEΞANΔPOY around and inverted anchor within circle on the reverse. Hendin 1148.

Reverse: Double cornucopiae adorned with ribbons, pomegranate between horns. Hendin 1149; TJC grp. T. All the letters are clear and distinct. Overstruck. Earthen brown patina. Extremely Fine.

Lot 1446		Judaea, Hasmonean Kingdom. Alexander Jannaeus (Yehonatan). Æ Prutah (2.54 g), 103-76 BCE. Jerusalem. 'Yehonatan the King' (Paleo-Hebrew) between the rays of star with eight rays, all within diadem. Reverse: BAΣIΛEΩ[Σ AΛEΞANΔPO]Y, inverted anchor. Hendin 1150; TJC grp. K. Earthen dark brown patina. Extremely Fine. Estimate Value $150 - 200 The Brody Family Collection;. Easily the most well known of Alexander Jannaeus' prutah coinages, this issue boldly advertises his status as king while paying attention to Jewish prohibitions against graven images of living things which had evolved since the time of the Yehud coinages in the fourth century BCE. While contemporary Seleukid and Ptolemaic kings regularly had their diademed portraits shown on their coins, Jannaeus was forced to content himself with depicting a star - apparently as a cipher for his image - surrounded by a diadem. It is unclear whether the star was meant to give a messianic flavor to Jannaeus' somewhat brutal style of kingship, but the anchor reverse casts him as a successor to dying Seleukid power in the Southern Levant.

Very Fine. Estimate Value $500 - 600 The Brody Family Collection; Purchased privately from D. Hendin, January 1987. In 40 BCE, at the head of a Parthian army, Mattathias II Antigonus drove Herod the Great and his puppet, the Hasmonaean ethnarch, John Hyrcanus II, out of Jerusalem and was proclaimed king and High Priest by the Parthians and his Jewish supporters. Unfortunately, the wily Herod was not so easily defeated and returned in 39 BCE armed with recognition as the Roman client-king of Judaea. The hapless Mattathias II was ultimately defeated and crucified for his troubles, leaving Judaea to begin a new period in its troubled history under the often hated Herodian dynasty.
