ZEUGITANA. Carthage. Ca. 350-320 BC. AV stater (19mm, 9.28 gm, 6h). NGC MS 5/5 - 4/5, Fine Style. Bust of Tanit left, hair wreathed with barley ears, wearing triple-pendant earring and necklace with eight pendants / Horse standing right, three pellets to lower right at hoof height. Jenkins & Lewis Group IIIf, 48.
The first gold staters struck by Carthage during 350-320 BC were of a nearly pure alloy and weighed more than the ubiquitous gold staters of Philip II and Alexander the Great. As time went on this coinage was debased with silver and reduced in weight-- hence the much more numerous Carthage staters produced after circa 320 BC are now termed "electrum."
