Hyrcanus II Unusual Inscription, Biblical/Judean

The inscription on this particular group of coins carries the 
name YONATAN as opposed to the YEHONATAN inscription on the 
coins of Alexander Jannaeus. Some believe this is merely a 
shortened version of Jannaeus's name. However, the clearly 
delineated style of the types with the shortened name, and the 
absolute dearth of other YEHONATAN coins with the shortened 
version of the name, seems to suggest that these are coins 
struck by a different ruler, most logically Hyrcanus II, 
although his Hebrew name is not known from any ancient 
sources.
Hyrcanus II, 67 and 63-40 BC, prutah of 16.1 mm, 1.93 grams.
Obverse: Ancient Hebrew, quite clearly legible but in an 
unusual style of script.
Reverse: Double cornucopias, pomegranate between.
Reference: Hendin 479 variety, Treasury S42 variety.
