Unpublished Phoenician AE?


Robi

Recommended Posts

Hi.

I would like to ask for help with one small coin. I found a quotation and information on the 399th E-auction of CNG that it is from Phoenicia, Tyre? and that it is an unpublished coin. How do we know that it is from Phoenicia, and what are the reasons to believe so? Tyche and club, 1.75 g. Thank You for help, Robert

I found another match.  The coin from NN references the coin from CNG.

Perhaps the club (presumed as a Herakles/Melqart reference) is why it is perceived to be linked to Tyre? <-- An educated guess.
