Carthaginian? 17mm bronze, 4 grams
« on: December 19, 2014, 10:17:36 pm »
Good evening everyone! 

I'm working my way through some lovely coin ID work, and I think I've got this one?  Started out looking on the FORUM for horse reverses, then moved off to acsearch and Wildwinds with an idea of what I was looking for (the nose style seemed distinctive enough).  I'm just hoping for a few more sets of eyes to take a look at this and throw in opinions/yays/nays/details I'm probably not experienced enough to glean as to what I've got.

Bronze, 17 mm at widest, 4 grams (by my terrible kitchen scale)
Head of Tanit left, obverse
Prancing (or rearing?) horse right, reverse
60-75 degree die axis (ish)

Similar to this: http://www.acsearch.info/search.html?id=27602

Thoughts? [Am I skewed by the fact that I'm on Punic Nightmares in Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast right now?  Haha.]

Thanks in advance.

A well known Carthaginian type--but I do not have references at hand.
