pilegicvs Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 09/28/2019 03:50 am The bottom left obverse looks like Tanit from Carthage. If the reverse is a horse with a palm tree(?), then Punic/Carthage, maybe 3rd or 2nd century? Report this Post to the Staff

Could the OP coin be potin? For comparison. Edit: here are a couple more. Edited by Kamnaskires 09/28/2019 3:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
