    Hello,

    I thought this one was from Phoenicia, Marthos, but I can not find an example, so I am probably wrong...so now I am a little bit lost with this one...

    I'm pretty sure you are correct about it being from Marathos.

    I don't know how to read the dates on these can can't make out all of the characters on your coin. There are many examples in CNG's archives; perhaps you can find one with similar date characters.

    The veiled woman is likely to be Bernike II. Do you have the weight and size ?

    I believe that Rouvier is the best Archive to search in for these series of coins struck in Phoenicia.
