I always chuckled over @TIF's  Uraei

@TIF Coin...

ZEUGITANA, Carthage
early 2nd century BCE
AE 15-shekel, 45 mm, 95 gm
Obv: wreathed head of Tanit left
Rev: horse standing right, left foreleg up; Flying Spaghetti Monster solar disk with uraei above

Graded by NGC but not slabbed. Reason: "size" (duh!) 

It's my heaviest struck coin-- as thick as a Reese's PBC and almost the same diameter "

 

Here is my Uraeus / Flying Spaghetti Monster...

According to Dr. Lee Brice (video link), the relative chronology of Period V is E, N, Δ, ΔI-AΛ-AΡ, Γ, I-ΔI-Δ-AY, ΔO, NO. These control letters "ΑΡ" put this in the middle of the sequence.
