So far, I've seen very few coins with the bust of the Emperor occupying two third of the obverse. The following coin was struck at Tyre- Phoenicia and it shows Melkart's bust occupying all the obverse (No legend there). Reverse has a club surrounded by the Greek legend TYROS METROPOLEON. It weighs 9.98 g. Please feel free to post any similar coin, or whatever you like from Tyre or Phoenicia.

Thanks for these info and nice coins. I was also offered a superb ancient model of a Phoenician ship. Of course, I can never afford it. It could be from Tyre , as well. The model is nearly 60 cm. long. Here are 2 shots from both sides.
