ZEUGITANA. Carthage. AV Stater (9.24 gms), Carthage Mint, ca. 350-320 B.C. NGC Ch AU, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 4/5.
Jenkins & Lewis Group-IIIh; MAA-4; SNG Cop-unlisted. Obverse: Head of Tanit left, wearing grain wreath, earring, and necklace; Reverse: Horse standing right; three pellets to right. A wondrous specimen to behold, this exceptional example offers perfect centering and a razor sharpness to the strike, while also providing the viewer with tremendous luster and brilliance. The only hints of light wear which can be seen are on the hair over Tanit's ear and on the front shoulder of the horse. Though not mentioned on the holder, this coin is clearly of superlative craftsmanship and worthy of the designation as fine style. An absolute jewel.
Estimate: $12000.00- $15000.00
