    Cimg4429.jpg Cimg4428.jpg Cimg4427.jpg Carthage with bull reverse. I got it couple years ago

    17-18mm, 3.6 grams

    I wasn't sure about this.

    Does this look real or fake? It feels a bit too light compared to other Carthagenian coins

    Ah, good. So maybe it actually is from Carthage and not Mordor, after all. ;)

    It's Carthaginian but struck in Sardinia during the Second Punic War. Looks perfectly genuine.
