livingwater Pillar of the Community United States 2213 Posts	Posted 08/14/2024 3:43 pm I don't think that's from Tyre, not a shekel. It's from Alexandria, one of the Ptolemy kings, the name Ptolemy is on reverse left side, an Isis headdress in lower reverse in front of eagle leg. You won't find Isis headdress on a Tyre Shekel. I doesn't look fake to me but I'm not familiar with these. Here is similar one on CNG Coins Edited by livingwater 08/14/2024 6:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
