JPetri New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/20/2018 01:45 am I love the hunt and chase, but I cannot figure out where this coin might be from. Any and all help would be appreciated. The coin is 13.6mm in diameter and weighs 17.4 grains. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 03/20/2018 02:42 am I really don't know, but I can say that this is not a "coin". It is a token of some sort. The writing looks like gibberish to me.

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 03/20/2018 12:07 pm It's a copy of an ancient Judaean coin, called a Prutah. I believe this one copies the more popular Alexander Jannaeus; the inscription (Aramaic Hebrew) reading something like "Yehonatan, King and Counsel to the Jews." These are popular as teaching aids for religious groups, as they are one of several likely candidates for the famous "widow's mite" of the Bible.

JPetri New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/20/2018 4:47 pm I thank you all. After looking in the direction advised, I agree with Finn235, that it is most probably a copy of a Prutah. Report this Post to the Staff
