Small coin from Gaza, legend?

« on: March 24, 2018, 09:26:29 am »

Hi!

Recently I got this small coin from Gaza:

Phoenicia, Gaza, 2nd-1st century BC
AE 18, 3.79g, 17.91mm, 0°
obv. Head of Zeus, bearded, laureate, r.
rev. Double cornucopia
Traces of legend
ref. Hoover HGC: 10, 585
very rare, F
pedigree:
ex Ira Ettinger coll.

On 2 coins online some letters of a rev. legend are visible. Anyone who does know the full legend or can give me a hint?

Thanks in advance

Jochen

Following BMC Palestine page 144 there are three variants of this coin with slightly different legends:
http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=1275552&partId=1&searchText=gaza&object=23360&page=1
http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=1275551&partId=1&searchText=gaza&object=23360&page=1
http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=1275550&partId=1&searchText=gaza&object=23360&page=1

In Mionnet VIII-2, p. 372, number 47, this type is also mentioned: http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k399123c/f139.image

This is probably one of these coins in the BnF:
http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b103016077.r=gaza?rk=171674;4
http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b103013808.r=gaza?rk=85837;2
