Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 10/07/2017 7:07 pm Certainly a stater or shekel with Melkart riding hippocamp obverse. Reverse is unclear to me and may be overstruck. Tarsos? Tyre? Edited by Kamnaskires 10/07/2017 7:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Kamnaskires Pillar of the Community United States 7066 Posts	Posted 10/07/2017 7:22 pm With a rotation in Photoshop, I see that it is a shekel of Tyre, Phoenicia, fourth century BC. As I stated above, the obverse is Melkart riding a hippocamp. The reverse is an owl standing right, crook and flail diagonally in background. Report this Post to the Staff
