PHOENICIA. Tyre. Ca. 126/5 BC-AD 65/6. AR shekel (28mm, 14.28 gm, 1h). NGC AU 4/5 - 2/5, damage. Dated Civic Year 128 (AD 2/3). Laureate bust of Melqart right, lion skin tied around neck / ΤΥPΟΥ ΙΕΡΑΣ-ΚΑΙ ΑΣΥΛΟΥ, eagle standing left on prow, palm over right wing; PKH (date) above club in left field left, KP above ΔIO monogram in right, Phoenician aleph between legs. DCA Tyre 458. Although the holder describes the edge anomaly as "damage" it appears to have happened when the flan was made or was part of the production process as there is a strong striking of the dotted border in the valley of the noted area.
From the Historical Scholar Collection. Ex Jonathan K. Kern, private sale with old dealer tag
