Watch List notes:

SOUTHERN SYRIA OR PHOENICIA. Uncertain. Circa 3rd-1st centuries BC. Weight of 22 Drachms (Lead, 47x50 mm, 74.19 g). ΔPAX / KB Elephant walking right. Rev. Latticework design. Pondera -. Unpublished and unique. Some scuffs, otherwise, about very fine.


The face value of 22 drachms given on the obverse of this interesting weight results in a light drachm of 3.37 g. This is a clear indication that it was produced within the Ptolemaic sphere of influence.
