Tanit .. maybe he was just typing fast, typo
I want to share this webpage with you - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanit

 

The Phoenicians built Carthage. Tanit is the Carthagian version of Astarte, just like Venus of Rome.

 

Coins of Carthage come in several sizes so it would be best to give a diameter and weight when asking for an ID.

 

Thanks All!

The diameter is 1.5 cm approx. I don't have an accurate enough scale to give you the weight.
