One of my Favo(u)rites from 2021... (Spelling addendum so that some Canucker can understand...) 😄 CARTHAGE, Punic Iberia, AE Unit/Calco, c. 220-215 BCE. Carthago Nova, 9.59g, 23mm. Obv: Head of Tanit left. Rev: Horse head right, mouth slightly open, Phoenician letter beth behind. Burgos 511. Scarce. This coin officially belongs in the Carthaginean section (“Other western”), but since it is a must-have for Roman collectors we have chosen to list it here. It is the larger of the two bronze types linked to Hannibal, which are much more affordable than the silver from the same period. This issue is dated by Burgos to the time when Hannibal inherited the Spanish command following the assassination of his brother in law, Hasdrubal the Fair. In 220 Hannibal completed the conquest of Spain, resulting in the fateful clash with Rome over Saguntum, and culminating in Hannibal’s famous march through Gaul and across the Alps into Italy, with elephants in tow. Other related Burgos issues are clearly imitations. This has very nice classical style & is an original mint product. The presumed mint location of Carthago Nova was the centre of Punic operations in Iberia, and Hannibal’s departure point for perhaps the most famous journey in military history. For the life of me, I have ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE from whom I bought this coin from! 😄 😄 😄 (AMCC Auction)
