Summary
[edit]DescriptionCarthage, gold half shekel, 241-238 BC.jpg |
English: CARTHAGE, Libyan Revolt. Circa 241-238 BC. AV Half Shekel (16mm, 3.82 g, 12h). Head of Tanit left, wearing wreath of grain ears, triple-pendant earring, and necklace / Horse standing right; Punic z and one stroke (= numeral 21 [date?]) above, Punic m below. Carradice & La Niece –; Jenkins & Lewis Group XI, 449 var. (no stroke after Punic z); MAA 35b var. (same). EF, some scuffs and scratches on obverse. Very rare issue, and a seemingly unrecorded variant.
From the collection of Dr. Lawrence A. Adams. Ex Numismatica Ars Classica 10 (9 April 1997), lot 193. Carradice and La Niece suggest that this issue was possibly used as payment to Carthaginian mercenary soldiers returning to Africa after they were evacuated from Sicily, as described by Polybius (i. 66). |
