Struck under Elagabalus, the following coin has Astarte on reverse being crowned by Nike on a column. There's a clear counter-marked bust of Melkart as well. The coin is my best and first upgrade for this new year. A palm tree and a Murex shell are shown across the inner lower fields. It weighs 13.76 g. Lindgren, I 2376.
Roma numismatics just sold an unpublished issue of his grandmother ( Julia Maesa) with the same reverse 2 weeks ago.
