[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 5427219, member: 51347"]Personally, I would purchase that Carthage Empire AE. The Obv Bust is of the Goddess TANIT, wearing a grain wreath. The Rev. is Horse with Palm behind. Chalkon is a Greek denomination, and probably not correct for Carthage. Cannot say for certain if either Hanno I or II were the Sufetes (one of two Leaders, similar to the Roman Consuls, over their Blm - similar to the Roman Senate) during your coin's mintage. Their coins did not generally reflect leaders, save for a few later coins under the Barca family, especially minted in Spain. Carthage used a lot of Tanit and Horse themes for a major portion of their coinage. They were great traders, and were ultimately exterminated by the Roman Republic in 146 BCE. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Carthage[/URL] I do not have my SNG COP - North Africa plate book with me to fully attribute... Here are a couple of mine that looks like your size coin: [B]EMPIRE of CARTHAGE[/B] [ATTACH=full]1235756[/ATTACH] Carthage Zeugitana 400-350 BC AE 15 Tanit Horse std Palm 3 pellets Clipped [ATTACH=full]1235757[/ATTACH] Carthage Zeugitana 400-350 BC AE 15 1.8g Tanit Horse std Palm 3 pellets [ATTACH=full]1235759[/ATTACH] Carthage Zeugitana 400-350 BC AE 13 2.3g Tanit Horse std Palm[/QUOTE]
