<p>[QUOTE="7Calbrey, post: 2179137, member: 38412"]That is correct. Both Phoenician and Hebrew are Semitic languages, along with Arabic . They are read from right to left. Now if you turn the side of the coin with a Wreath 90 degrees clockwise, you will read Sheen and Ayn ( E and O ) in similar resemblance with Latin but with total difference in pronunciation. The combination of these 2 letters is very common in the Phoenician language and it's found on most archaeological sites. I don't know exactly what it means but it could refer to the Sun. Hope I made an idea.. I've encountered this combination many times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
