Beschrijving keerzijde An aphlaston (the ornamental stern piece of a warship) depicted centrally in the field, flanked to the left by a regnal year designation and to the right by a monogram. The Greek royal inscription runs around the periphery within a border of dots, referencing Herod's third year of reign. The overall style reflects Hellenistic influence on Herodian coinage.

Aanvullende informatie

Herod received his kingship from the Roman Senate in 40 BC — the very year this prutah was struck — but he did not actually control Judea until 37 BC, after a military campaign backed by Rome drove out the Parthian-installed Hasmonean ruler Antigonus II. The coin was issued in anticipation of a reign, not from within one.

Hendin 1172 is among the more reliably attributed of Herod's issues, a series complicated by the absence of royal portraiture — a deliberate concession to Jewish religious sensibility that Herod maintained despite his otherwise aggressive Romanization of the court.
