Gorgeous coin, and I love where you broke out the individual pieces in the bottom few pictures. That couldn't have been easy.

Thank-you for the lesson.
This is what I love about coins.
There is so much more to them than what you see with the first cursory glance.
My problem is retaining the information.

A 'star' coin in any collection of ancients, and a 'star' presentation of it as well!

This has been my dream coin for many years..
As a Lebanese person, I've been extremely interested in amassing any antiquities I can find that originated from the lands of Phoenicia..
Many artifacts and heritage sites were either looted and destroyed and it hurts me even more to see my government not even care..
I am looking for a coin like this in a great condition..
If anyone can please help me find a coin and tell me what it's worth, I would be grateful!!
Thank you!

Wow. This coin is fabulous. How did I miss this. Who would not want a coin of the ancient Phoenician dye traders. WOW. Good score.

Can someone please tell me what is the value of this coin? And where I can find a coin like that for a reasonable price?

PhoenicianX, I just did a quick search of the two big auction aggregator websites, www.numisbids.com and www.sixbid.com. I don't see another of this particular dishekel coming up for auction in the next month or two but new auctions are added as they are announced. I see examples of this particular dishekel somewhat regularly. Each of those sites has a search box at the upper right of the page. Vcoins has a couple of examples right now but they may not fit your idea of "reasonable price". The Vcoins page I linked was for search terms "Phoenicia dishekel". You might find a few more examples by broadening the search to just "Phoenicia". For an idea on historical prices and quality, acsearch.info is a good resource. I've linked the results page for a search of "Phoenicia dishekel". Edited by ThisIsFun
