The most common of these types were struck during the reign of Alexander Jannaeus, one of the last Jewish kings before the Roman annexation of Judea. Most leptons and prutahs were very crudely made usually off center on irregular flans. The resulting coins frequently show minimal imagery. Both the leptons and prutahs are called star-anchor types; one or both sides will often show partial images of an anchor and/or a eight-pointed star. The anchor design was adopted from the Seleucids, who used it to symbolize their naval power.
