<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2043437, member: 42773&quot;]I just looked this coin up in HGC, and #240 is indeed a 1/16th Shekel of the same type, but the 1/16th Shekels are recorded at around 0.8g, or roughly twice the weight of your coin. Hoover records a 1/32nd Shekel, at c. 0.4g, but it is of a different type - galley, running king shooting bow and arrow.</p><p><br /></p><p>HGC is by no means exhaustive, however. It is a handbook after all. But this attribution is not quite correct. I would reference it as a 1/32 Shekel, cf. HGC 10, 240 (same type as 1/16 Shekel). Probably this type is recorded somewhere in the smaller denomination, and that bears some investigation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
