Ha and you guys thought I was talking about chronological dates...
Nope I was talking about the fruits! I procured this somewhat less common of the Dominion of Carthage...Featuring the large Palm tree instead of the Bust of Tanit. With that Horse head we all know and love, accentuated by the beautiful glossy green patina....

Dominion of Carthage
AE Unit 16.4mm @ 5.32g
Unknown Sicilian Mint
Obverse: Palms tree with two dates.
Reverse: Horse Head right,
ref: Lindgren 626 / SNGCop 104 variant.

You REALLY got me with that one...I literally laughed out loud. Nice!

Although no one noticed, it was you guys that convinced me to make a purchase of 10 uncleaned ancients...they are finally in the country and will be here someday soon!

I had a feeling that's the Carthage coin you were talking about. I'm also going to get one of those some day in the future. Great find. Gotta love those Carthage coins!! lol
