Evening !

As promised Canaan, here is the information you required.


Attribution;

Phoenicia, Arados 85-84 B.C

Obverse: Veiled bust of Astarte-Europa right, wearing stephane, border of dots.

Reverse: Humped bull galloping left, head facing, KN over ΠC above, Aradian era date 175 (POE) & Greek M with Phoenician letter beth (B) below.


Same as the two coins in my collection.
