<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1871807, member: 19463&quot;]The answer to your question would be found in&nbsp; <a href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Elayi%20and%20Elayi%20Sidon" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Elayi%20and%20Elayi%20Sidon" rel="nofollow">https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Elayi and Elayi Sidon</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>I have noted several different named kings of Sidon credited with these coins but all were subject to the great king of the Persians&nbsp; to some degree.&nbsp; Sidon rebelled against&nbsp; Artaxerxes III and probably issued coins during that period so I suspect the lion might be the city and the king the Persian (or is it the other way around?).&nbsp; Alexander may have ended the local coinage since we start seeing his types from that mint.&nbsp; I do not know details but would suggest starting with the Elayi book (published in 2004 but I don&#039;t know where you&#039;ll find one).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
