Robi Posted September 18 · Member Share Posted September 18 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 and that it is an unpublished coin.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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesta Posted September 22 · Member Share Posted September 22 Hi, maybe along the lines of one of these coins ... https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?term=Arados&category=1&lot=&date_from=&date_to=&images=1&en=1&de=1&fr=1&it=1&es=1&ot=1¤cy=usd&order=0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herodotus Posted September 23 · Member Share Posted September 23 (edited) 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. https://www.numismatik-naumann.at/auktion/#!/auction/lot?a=1096&l=314&s=314 Unpublished In The Standard References PHOENICIA. Tyre. Autonomous issues (1st century BC(?)). Ae. Weight: 1.31 g. Diameter: 11 mm. O: Turreted head of Tyche right. R: Club. https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=337822 PHOENICIA, Tyre(?). Autonomous issues. 1st century BC(?). Æ (10.5mm, 1.64 g). O: Turreted head of Tyche right. R: Club. Unpublished in the standard references. EDIT: An additional match from Sol Numismatics https://www.biddr.com/auctions/solnumismatik/browse?a=4809&l=5796073 Uncertain. Ae (bronze, 1.75 g, 11 mm). O: Turreted bust of Tyche right. R: Club.

Robi Posted September 30 · Member Author Share Posted September 30 And this one from Alexandreia ad Issum Levante 1971 33, but this is a bigger one (and this - from one of last week auctions - Alexandreia as Issum too?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
