Siculo-Punic AR Tet

I like that the horse, er... Dobbin is in motion, parading around and the like! Sweet name too! I have named any of mine (yet ). Here's mine of the same type (sans cigar, but someone took a bite outta the cookie, jk):

Zeugitania, Carthage, 201-195 BC
AE Trishekel
Obverse: Wreathed head of Tanit left.
Reverse: Horse standing right, left foreleg raised. Faint area behind head may be worn uncertain mark.
References: MMA 105a
Size: 28mm, 18.3g
Notes: Coin likely broke after casting when separating the coin from the casting “tree”.

@Alegandron, do you think my recent addition is actually male or female? I have it labeled as Tanit, but now I'm not sure...

Zeugitania, Carthage, 400-350 BC
AE Unit, Carthage or Sicilian Mint
Obverse: Head of Tanit left, wearing wreath of grain and earrings.
Reverse: Horse galloping right.
References: MAA 15, SNG Cop 96
Size: 16mm, 4.32g
Notes: Very unique rendering of horse on reverse, with long neck design.

Yes, yours is Tanit.

And I like those TriShekels too!

I love this picture... and the view. I'll miss it! Moving back to the States later this year. Had two offers on my place within days of listing . I think the buyers are going to use it as a vacation home and will rent it out by the week when not in residence.

I see an earring and grain ear wreath on your obverse figure so it's Tanit.

 

I always have really enjoyed both your coins! Very nice!
