Hasmonean Prutah – Ancient Jewish Coin
Hasmonean prutah Jewish ancient coin.
The bronze Hasmonean coins have a variety of symbols, including the double cornucopia (found on the modern NIS 2 Shekel coin), the lily (found on the NIS 1 Shekel coin), the star, and the palm branch.
The most fascinating aspect of these coins, however, are their inscriptions.
