The bulk of my collection is from the Dominion of Carthage. I am by no means an expert on these coins but their is a large a number of coins of uncertain origin and denomination. At least from my experience the "Rounder" coins are from the North African mainland and the the ones that look like like the flans where cast in a chain are from Sardinia. Usually cruder pieces come from Iberia. As a reminder though, never say never and never say always. At least I hope this helps.
If I where to take a whack at the date I would put it on the mainland, minted after the second Punic war, After 201 BC. The larger size and relative light weight would be a 1 Shekel, which continued to be used until the city was raised in 146 BC. These larger coins where used at home due to the extreme lack of precious metals caused by the countless talents used to pay the Romans. Kudos to the Carthage, you can never have to many coins of a lost civilization.

Anoob... You mean Razed instead of raised?

I really should look at adding a Carthaginian coin to my collection.

Also, very nice coin!

If you are going to get a Carthaginian, a bronze is the best way to start.
Gold is about, because of the expense and the greater possibility of fakes, go for bronze!

I am still to dip a toe in the water with this area in ancients.
