A friend of mine owns this coin and believes it's a Roman denarius issued under King Herod in 211 b.c. Any idea if that is true or what it's worth? Thanks!
Looks more like a copy of a Phoenicia silver shekel to me... here's one on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/PHOENICIA-TYRE-87BC-Silver-Shekel-Melqarth-Eagle-/380349134451 This thread really should be in the "world and ancient" coin forum.
