[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 1717520, member: 19463"]The Akragas is from the time that the city was taken by Carthage so the C/M is probably a conversion of old city coins into the new rulers' system. The Persian is supposed to be a vertical oval coin but this one was struck crosswise making it look odd. I suspect that made it look possibly fake so it got tested by several merchants. I always wondered if the Ba'al c/m meant the coin had been given to the temple. Perhaps the same coin could only be dedicated once??? I have no idea!!![/QUOTE]
