Yehud hemiobol struck ca. 340 B.C.E. in Jerusalem (GBC 1059) 0.25 g.
A nice example struck by the pair of dies O4-R1 (http://www.menorahcoinproject.org/yhd-15.htm). This reverse die is affected by an interesting network of breaks visible on all the coins struck by this die*. Much better than the GBC plate coin. Uncleaned.
* 80% of all the Yehud reverse dies are affected by breaks. The ratio remains the same on the Ptolemaic and pre-Ptolemaic periods.
Est. 600-700
