Tanit -- nice coin.
Laughing.... Bakkar -- our
collections must be clones (though yours is more extensive, better coins, ok, ok, so mine is pitiful next to yours, grin, but occaisonally I've got a nice one). You really have to love the desert
patina on our two coins.
Here is mine, which is the plate coin for
Houghton (so I was told by the dealer, though I cannot confirm because I don't have
Houghton).

Syria, Antiochos
