CARTHAGE / MERCENARY WAR Mystery

@Valentinian felt my Carthage Mercenary War DiShekel was an over-strike.

Carthage LIBYAN UPRISING Mercenary War 241-238 BCE AR DiShekel Herakles Head in Lion's Head- Lion walking R SNG Cop 240f

I agreed with him, perhaps explaining the nose texture. (I have NOT submitted the coin yet.)

I am fascinated as to WHAT coin it was struck over...

 

Haha... me too. I also live in Minneapolis... Prince is/was a big deal here, it's his hometown. I ran into him in Uptown (for about 5 seconds) once in street clothes (or at least I swear it was him).

 

Awesome. I can't count how many concerts of his I've been to. He also lived in Toronto for a few years. We'd see him around town too. Still can't believe he's gone.

I realize that this thread may hurt some peoples brain's but it's fun. Many times we have those small questions that we're afraid to ask about because "it's not worth its own thread." This is a place for those questions while this thread lives. Thanks again to the contributors and commenters!

 

The Nabataean is Aretas IV in a jugate portrait with his (second) queen Shaqilat, The reverse is double cornucopias with the inscription "Aretas/Shaqi/lat" in Nabataean script.
