The mint Jerusalem has printed bronze coins in the city for around 200 years. There are indications of the mint properties on a considerable lot of the coins, which can be demonstrated to have the coins printed explicitly in this mint. These engravings were made from the start of the Hasmonean rule (132 BCE) until the obliteration of Jerusalem (70 CE) so that indications of a portion of the coins could be better perceived as the coin making in the above period.
For instance, here is a photograph of a bronze coin of the Hasmonean lord Alexander Jannaeus (103-76 BCE). On the front, the coin is the paleo-Hebrew engraving of the coin, with breaks to one side and left of the engraving. Cracks' meaning could be a little more obvious.
The clarification for this, during the time spent making bronze coins in mint, was to projected coin strips with flan joined to one another.
As is notable on the flans, the coin models are stamped.
For this reason, the flans associated between them are isolated from the strips. On the off chance that you at first cut the flans and, strike the coin, breaks structure. On the off chance that you strike the flans first and, cut them from the strip, there are no breaks. As indicated by King Jannaeus' money photograph, the flan originally cut the strip and afterward printed on it, thus the breaks seen on the coin.
