The Identity of YNTN on Hasmonean Overstruck Coins and the Chronology of the Alexander Jannaeus Types

Abstract

A previously unpublished Hasmonean coin, which was overstruck twice, proves beyond
doubt that at least one group of coins bearing the name yntn must be attributed to Alexander
Jannaeus. This coin also contributes to establishing a definitive chronology for the
striking of the various Jannaeus types.
