<p>[QUOTE="Al Kowsky, post: 3934937, member: 97383"]Kevin, You've scored an interesting & unusual Tet from Sidon, with excellent info provided by Ocatarinetabellatchitchix. Prieur does list 7 different types of this coin with the carriage of Astarte on the reverse, with all variations occurring with the layout of the reverse inscription. Unfortunately your coin is missing an important part of the inscription do to the shape of the planchet <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. It may never be possible to pinpoint exactly which one of the 7 your coin is <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Your coin is one of the "war issues" struck from AD 215-217, when the silver content was reduced to about 35%.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
