"Bust is laureate, draped, cuirassed, same obv. die as the BM specimen, pl. 51.6. That in fact is the only As obv. die used for the type." Curtislclay
BM die catalogue contains seven specimens of this As, all from the same obv. die, and from three different rev. dies. This coin is now the eighth spec., same obv. die, one of the same rev. dies. So, it's a fairly rare coin.

Billon is debased silver, an indication of the financial stress Carthage was under towards the end of the war. This particular coin would have been minted in Carthage right around the time of the decisive battle of Zama (southwest of Carthage) where the Roman General Scipio Africanus defeated Hannibal in 202 BC.

29 mm, 18.21 g

Obverse: Head of Tanit left, wearing wreath of grain ears and single-pendant earring

Reverse: Horse standing right; palm tree in background to left.

MAA 84; Müller, Afrique 147; SNG Copenhagen 344.

The Second Punic War formally began when the Carthaginian general Hannibal and his army crossed the Alps in November of 218 BC and descended into Northern Italy. Battles raged on Italian soil for nearly 15 years until Hannibal and what remained of his army sailed for North Africa in the summer or fall of 203 BC. Shown above is a typical example of what would have been a lower-value coin issued by the Carthaginians in the early stages of the war.

Carthage was a Phoenician colony, and as such the Carthaginians were related to the Hebrews and the Canaanites (among others). Culturally they had much in common, including the use of the shekel as the primary unit of money. Likewise, the Carthaginians worshipped a variety of deities from the ancient Middle East. One in particular was the goddess Tanit. A Phoenician (Punic) goddess of war, Tanit was also a virgin mother goddess and a fertility symbol.

Harlan J. Berk

Issued in the final years of the Second Punic War, when the Carthaginian treasury was nearly drained of silver, this coin is of strongly debased metal, with no more than 15% silver content. As a result, this type is frequently described as being of bronze.
