I can't believe I got you guys againNot chronological dates but the fruits....you guys just never learn do you....

I have been wanting one of these since I started collecting Carthage coins. It arrived today and I am super dee'duper thrilled. I know in another thread someone was interested in the significance of the Horse on Punic Coins, but I thought that this horse needed its own thread...The coin is strange as there is no Tanit and the Horse is the obverse while the Palm tree and dates pick up the rear.

Dominion of Carthage
North Africa, Zeugitana, Carthage
AE Unit 16mm x 2.29g
c. 250-200 BC
OBV. Pegasus Flying Left
REV. Palm Tree with 2 Dates
ref. rGCV 6530

Definitely a nice coin! Gotta add that one to my list.

Check out coins from Numidia as well. If you haven't already.
