A half-shekel minted at the Phoenician city of Tyre around 102 to 101 BCE

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A half-shekel minted at the Phoenician city of Tyre around 102 to 101 BCE, two and a half decades after it regained its independence from the fading Seleucid Empire:

"The human-like head is that of Melkarth, the Tyrian deity (often called, slightly misleadingly, the 'Tyrian Hercules'). On the other side of the coin is an eagle with one foot on the prow of a galley. Next to it is a club, which is a symbol of Melkarth."
