PHOENICIA, Tyre. 126/5 BC-AD 65/6. AR Shekel (23mm, 13.82 g, 12h). Lifetime of Christ issue. Dated CY 156(?) (AD 30/1). Laureate bust of Melkart right, lion skin around neck / Eagle standing left on prow; palm frond in background; to left, PNς(?) (date) above club; to right, KP above [monogram]; no Phoenician letter between legs. Cf. DCA-Tyre 556–62; HGC 10, 357; DCA 920. Compact flan, some porosity and scratches, off center. VF.

As with many of the issues dated to CY 150s, the engraving on the dies used here was quite crude. The P and N in the date are fairly clear, but the last letter is not quite clear enough to be certain of the reading.

Closing Date and Time: 20 April 2022 at 11:09:40 ET.
