2,400 year old coin from Sicily [worth about 20p] Tags:ireland 8 comments [deleted] I’d pay 20p to own that Carthaginian coin. The tree was a pun on one of their sacred deities (Baal Hamon maybe?) if I recall, and the horse head was part of the founding myth of Carthage. Never thought my Punic numismatic knowledge would come in handy on here! Our old money was so God damn sexy. Looks like the old Irish punt coin. Hang onto it for another couple of thousand years and it will be worth 40p! 20p, from an empire that hasn’t existed for over 2200 years, were they just pissing tin or silver over there? Can’t be right? Where did u get that valuation? Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
