ZEUGITANA. Carthage. AV Stater (9.42 gms), Carthage Mint, ca. 350-320 B.C. NGC MS, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 5/5.
MAA-4; SNG Cop-Unlisted. Obverse: Head of Tanit left, wearing wreath of grain ears, necklace with ten pendants, and triple-pendant earring; Reverse: Horse standing right; three pellets to right. Incredibly brilliant and blazing, this uncirculated specimen radiates with charm and allure. A hint of off-centering to the obverse strike is all that prevents this highly lustrous example from perfect designations. For added character, some typical die marks are observed around the head of Tanit.
Estimate: $6000 - $8000
