    Very nice coin. I am learning much about the Babylon mint style in this thread.

    Hello Ben,
    To me the coin looks like a tourist piece & not a real ancient coin. There are very many things wrong with it such as a modern lion design, made-up lettering, cartoonish seated figure (Ba’al), etc. I AM NOT AN EXPERT. Please wait for an expert at CT to comment further.

    Here is my example of what I believe is a real Babylon Dishekel:

    I have that coin exactly, did we decide it's fake? Are they sold as souvenirs or something?
