The Carthaginians began producing fairly enormous numbers of gold coins starting in the second half of the 4th century. They controlled much of the gold trade that crossed the Sahara and also had access to mines in Spain. The staters were first struck at the weight of a shekel but during the period of c. 350-320 their weight was increased by a quarter. The following groups then began to be struck in electrum rather than gold. Unlike the silver ‘Siculo-Punic’ issues we have seen above, the Carthaginian gold and electrum issues are very clearly Punic in style – influenced by Greek work but clearly portraying a local goddess.
Классификация/Состояние: A particularly neat and attractive example, well-struck and well-centered. Good extremely fine.
