Watch List notes:

Zeugitana. Carthage. c. 215-213 BC. Billon tridrachm, 11.24g (12h). Obv: Young Tanit head left, wearing single-pendant earring. Rx: Horse standing right, palm tree behind. C. Lorber, CH IX, p. 285, no. 37, pl. 55 (this coin). These billon tridrachms were struck after the Punic War, when Hannibal had a need for money but was challenged by a shortage of silver. This coin was struck early in that period in a sweeter, more Sicilian style, rather than the harder edge Carthaginian style. The dies for this issue were cut in very low relief, thus the coins appear to be of a lower grade than they actually are. VF+
