Abstract:
Yehudah is the rarest name to appear on Hasmonean fiduciary bronze coinage. A die study of coins bearing his name was undertaken in order to determine the identity of this Yehudah, the chronology of his coins and the seriation of the names of the Hasmonean rulers appearing on coins both before and after his rule. The results of this study impact upon the current assumptions of Hasmonean coin chronology, the economy under Yehudah and the credibility of Josephus’ history regarding of his reign.
