| Beschrijving keerzijde | An inverted anchor with a crossbar and curved flukes is depicted centrally within a circular incuse ring or dotted circle, itself surrounded by a Greek legend distributed around the outer field. The anchor is a dynastic emblem closely associated with the Hasmonean and Seleucid traditions, here rendered in a simplified, hammered style consistent with late second-century BC Judaean coinage. |

Alexander Jannaeus ruled as both king and high priest of Judea, and his coinage reflects the political tightrope he walked between Hellenistic ambition and Jewish religious law. The anchor-and-star type prutot — the most prolific of his issues — were struck in such quantities that they remain the single most commonly encountered ancient Jewish coin on the market today. His 27-year reign saw near-constant warfare, a civil war that cost tens of thousands of lives, and a brief period where Pharisee opposition was so fierce he reportedly crucified 800 opponents at a single banquet.
Many surviving examples show significant die wear and off-center strikes, a predictable consequence of mass production under a mint prioritizing volume over precision.
