The upper right coin struck by Antiochus VII (Sidetes) in Jerusalem and depicting anchor, Greek inscription ΒΑΣΙΛEΩΣ ANTIOXOY EYEPΓETOY (of king Antiochus the benefactor) a lily flower. The two other coins in the top row struck by John Hyrcanus and depicting Paleo-Hebrew inscription in wreath: Yehohanan the High Priest and council of the Jews and double cornucopia with a pomegranate between horns (there are some differences in the form of the letters in the both coins). In the bottom line, from right to left: A prutah of Alexander Jannaeus, depicting anchor and surrounded by Greek inscription AΛEΞANΔPOY BAΣIΛEΩΣ (of King Alexander) and eight pointed star within diadem; between the rays, paleo-Hebrew inscription (Yehonatan the King). Next to him, a prutah of Alexander Jannaeus including irregular inscription Yehonatan the High Priest and council of the Jews and double cornucopia with a pomegranate between horns. In the left side, a prutah of Judah Aristobulus including Paleo-Hebrew inscription in wreath: Yehudah High Priest and council of Jews and double cornucopia with a pomegranate between horns. After the ‘Maccabaean Revolt’, the Hasmonaean kingdom was founded which lasted for just under a hundred years. The alphabet employed was not the square Hebrew script current at the time, but the script from the First Temple period, implying a connection between the Hasmoneans and the First Temple. The symbols employed show a clear Hellenising trend.
