This important new series of Yehud coins with a Greek-pseudo Greek inscription has been discovered in fall 2008. To learn more on the subject, read: Fontanille-Lorber, Israel Numismatic Research Vol. 3 pp. 45-49 (abstracts here). The Yehud coins in Greek share 4 important characteristics: 1) They are written in Greek or pseudo-Greek, 2) They are of crude style on both sides, 3) The owl faces left, 4) The details of the face of the owl (eye, beak) have been erased.
