It is a Judean prutah. It is of one of the Hasmonean rulers but because of the condition of the coin I cannot tell which one. However it is mostly likely one of Alexander Jannaeus.

Thanks Australian Coins Info.
Could it be this one? They both have something that looks like bird tracks in a circle.
Thanks

Which coin are you referring to when you say "Could it be this one"? Also the bird tracks are the leave on the wreath that nearly all the Hasmonean prutah types have.

sorry - I didn't paste the link correctly - and now I see other possibilities too
I thought maybe this one
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces94922.html
It has the wreath on one side and a "double cornucopia" on the other side plus a "border of dots"
This one does too:

This one has no image but is linked from the other page
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces102097.html
Is there any area I should try to re-photograph to make it identifiable?
Thanks!

based on the styling of your coins lettering (assuming it is one of Alexander Jannaeus) it will be
this coin .

Thank you so much! I liked the coin as it was, but knowing where and when it came from, and knowing that I am touching something from so far away and so long ago, just wow!
Thank you for your help.

No problem. I'm glad to have helped. Those are also some of the reasons why I collect such coins.
