Description

JUDAEA. Alexander Jannaeus (103-76 BC). AE prutah (15mm). NGC VF, brockage. Yehonatan the King (Paleo-Hebrew), legend between rays of eight-pointed star within diadem / As obverse, incuse and reversed. Cf. Hendin 1150. Rare as brockage! A brockage is a mint error that occurs when a coin becomes stuck in the obverse or reverse die, thus becoming the corresponding "die" for the next coin struck. The result is a coin with one side in proper relief, but the other side bearing the identical image, only reversed and incuse.
