Two Authentic Chanukah Coins
Item Number: 198
Time Left: CLOSED
Description
Celebrate Chanukah with authentic gelt: two genuine prutahs from the time of the Maccabees.
The nephew of Judah the Maccabee, John Hyrcanus, was the first Jewish sovereign to mint coins under his own name. He was followed by his two sons, one grandson, and one great-grandson. The images in the obverse (first photo) make clear these are from that time period.
First image is the obverse; second image is the reverse.
