Abstract:
this note summarizes what is known at present about the coins minted in Jerusalem in the last years of the reign of Antiochus VII Sidetes. A (unique?) coin with a new date, SE 183=130/129 BCE, is presented and a possible minting distribution of this series during the time span 132–129 BCE is discussed. All this is historically and numismatically important because it stands at the beginning of Hasmonean full autonomy and at the beginning of Hasmonean coin minting.
