<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3973092, member: 72790&quot;]Syrian tetradrachmas do come in at about 14 grams, especially those with the head of a Syrian monarch on them, including those minted in Tyre but those with say a Demetrius II on them were not considered to be the same shekel as the 30 pieces of silver coins. Those, with a similar looking Melcart were minted at a higher weight so if the question is,is this a Tyrian shekel of the thirty pieces, I don&#039;t think so, but a common Syrian tetradrachma it may be. Style and weight for that would be good.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
