Prutah - John Hyrcanus I and Antiochus VII Sidetes

This prutah dates to the period when John Hyrcanus I ruled Judea as a vassal under the Seleucid king Antiochus VII Sidetes, who had besieged Jerusalem around 134 BC and reimposed tribute obligations on the Hasmonean state. The joint attribution reflects that political subordination directly — Hyrcanus was permitted to strike coinage but not without acknowledging Seleucid overlordship. The arrangement collapsed when Antiochus died campaigning against the Parthians in 129 BC, at which point Hyrcanus rapidly asserted full independence and expanded Judean territory aggressively.
