This is the description of a half shekel sold through Roma. I have underlined, emboldened, and italicized the part I do not understand. This can not be dated AD377/76. I thought the last date of the shekels/half shekels was AD66 when the first Judaean war started. The description also notes that the date is LN which is visible on the coin. Any help would be appreciated. Phoenicia, Tyre AR Half Shekel. Dated CY 50 = AD 377/76. Laureate bust of Melkart to right / ΤΥPΟΥ ΙΕΡΑΣ ΚΑΙ ΑΣΥΛΟΥ, eagle standing to left on prow, palm behind; LN (date) above club to left; monogram to right, letter Bet between legs. DCA-Tyre 125; DCA 921 var. (only the letter N listed for this date); cf. HGC 10, 358 (this date not listed). 6.90g, 22mm, 12h.
First, here is a snip of the date portion of the coin you referenced: The Roma listing includes two errors in the date: 1. It erroneously includes a '3'. Remove the '3' to get the correct number. IOW: Not "377/76", but "77/76". 2. "AD" should be "BC". Make those two edits to get: 77/76 B.C., which is correct. Here is a link to a listing of a coin of same type and year: https://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=7736242 EDIT: Victor is FAST! He beat me by a moment. Yay @Victor_Clark !!!
