<p>[QUOTE="TuckHard, post: 4828135, member: 102653"]I have one Carthaginian coin that I bought from an older gentleman from my first coin show when I was about 13 or 14 probably. Along with a Roman coin, this coin was my first ancient piece. The guy, from what I can remember, told me that the coin was issued leading up to or during the Second Punic War and that seems to match up with the dates I found. I don't know much about Carthage coins but this type with the horse right, head turned back left seems to be fairly uncommon with only one example so far posted in this thread. The staff is hard to see in the photo (and in person) but it does appear to be there right at the mound of the rear. Possibly the remnants of a Carthage script character under the horse's belly but not sure.</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1167835[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]1167834[/ATTACH] </p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
