<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1934 Wreath Crown, post: 8107905, member: 76965&quot;]Just won this at today’s Roma auction. I have a Shekel dated CY 137 which equates to AD 11/12 but, to me, a half shekel lifetime issue seems to be more difficult to find. The metal quality doesn&#039;t look brilliant but I really liked the portrait of Melqart which is also well centered even if the reverse is a bit off-centre. The date PMC is also pretty clearly legible in the left field above the club in front of the eagle’s breast, so I’m well pleased.</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post related coins, including lifetime issues or any additional information regarding this issue.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Auctioneer’s Description:</b></p><p><br /></p><p><i>Phoenicia, Tyre AR Half Shekel.
