Watch List notes:

ZEUGITANA. Carthage. The Carthaginians in Sicily, Sardinia and North Africa. Circa 350-320 B.C. AV 1/10th stater. .94 gm. 7 mm. Palm tree with a date cluster hanging down on each side; border of pellets / A horse's head right, border of dots. Jenkins & Lewis Group III, 136-155. Very rare. Almost Uncirculated; fresh lustrous surfaces.From the 6th to the 3rd centuries B.C. Carthage fought an intermittent war with the western Greeks over Sicily. This issue, like the gold fractions of Sicily and Magna Graecia of the late 5th to 3rd centuries B.C., was a war coinage, struck to pay for the mercenary troops, ships and supplies to conduct military operations during the Hellenistic period, in this case against Timoleon. The types are particularly Carthaginian. The palm tree on the obverse is a punning type, the Greek φοινιξ meaning both palm tree and Phoenician (or Carthaginian), while the horse (either full figure or head) was a consistent Carthaginian type.
