    :D That Phoenician dishekel really was a coup. Once in a while I get lucky.

    They're quite close but I don't think the obverse dies match. The chin-neck angles and bust truncations are different for the left-facing portraits. It is possible that centering, coin wear, and die age account for the differences.
