| Beschrijving keerzijde | Double cornucopia facing outward, adorned with ribbons or fillets tied at the base, with a pomegranate visible between the upward-curving horns. The design is a hallmark of Hasmonean royal coinage, symbolizing prosperity and abundance. The motif is rendered in low relief consistent with hammered bronze production. A border of dots encircles the device, defining the coin's circumference. |

Alexander Jannaeus was the first Hasmonean ruler to formally adopt the title "King" on his coinage, a politically loaded decision that set him apart from his predecessors, who styled themselves only as High Priests. The prutah was the workhorse denomination of everyday Judaean commerce, and Jannaeus struck them in enormous quantities — his reign of nearly three decades left more surviving bronze coinage than any other Hasmonean ruler.
A significant proportion of his issues were later overstruck by his widow Salome Alexandra, or re-used as blanks by Herod. Die alignment and fabric can often help date groups of his output to earlier or later in the reign, though no firm chronology has been universally accepted.
