<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancient Aussie, post: 3124929, member: 80147&quot;]Picked up this scarse last year Elagabalus coin because unusual compared to any other that I have seen, not sure why Astarte&#039;s head is so large although he does wear a crown, and looked at quite a few of this type and never seen one with the top of door frame missing. My coin and below that a CNG archive showing what should be there.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]796061[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]796062[/ATTACH] </p><p>Weight:11.56 gm.Phoenicia. Tripolis. Elagabalus 218-222 A.D.
