Friend of the Jews
editWhy is chaver left untranslated in this article? It means friend, in the sense of "popular leader" when found on these coins (despite the rule being hereditary). Kuratowski's Ghost (talk) 15:36, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- It usually is understood as Chaver HaSanhedrin, or "Member of the Sanhedrin".
Just Prutah and Half-Prutah?!?
editIt says in the first paragraph, that only Prutot and Leptas were minted by the Hasmoneans. This is not true, seeing that Antigonus minted 4-prutahs and 8-prutahs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.99.53.138 (talk) 00:03, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
- True, same with Hyrcanus I, who minted two-prutot.
