Spence Moderator United States 34472 Posts	Posted 08/24/2017 7:22 pm Interesting piece! I'm thinking a token of some sort and relatively modern. However, the first pic seems to be showing a pomegranate flower between two horns of a cornucopia. This is the same design as on a prutah of Alexander Jannaeus. I'll be interested to see what others think.

Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 08/24/2017 10:42 pm A modern trinket referencing a Hasmonean Dynasty prutah. Quote: Can't begin to figure out that reverse legend. Seems to be a very simplified interpretation of the paleo-Hebrew from the real stuff. Report this Post to the Staff
