[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] According to The Coinage of Carthage By Mike Markowitz for CoinWeek. In Bruttium (the toe of the Italian boot) Hannibal struck small electrum coins in the odd denomination of 3/8 shekel (about 3 grams). The design was based on the popular Roman silver quadrigatus, with Jupiter on the reverse, driving a chariot and about to hurl a thunderbolt, but with a double-faced image of Tanit replacing the Roman god Janus on the obverse. At Capua, Hannibal struck more conventional Punic half and quarter shekels in silver. . However, after looking those coins up, I found only coins with Albino faces - meaning that it's part of the Albino alt history. [/QB][/QUOTE]
