Shekel Tyre CY 159, 33-34CE
« on: May 06, 2016, 07:35:43 pm »
I recently added this year 159 shekel to my collection. Mottled toning and the reverse is a bit off center but I'm quite happy with it!

Enjoy,

I'd like to get one of these someday about the quality level of yours, which is nice.

Thanks Molinari.

It's not rare but certainly a scarce date, when they come up for sale they don't stick around for long.
