Æ14 - Nectanebo II Levantine region

Descrizione del dritto	A balance scale (scales of justice) depicted in the central field, rendered in a schematic, linear style with a crossbar supported by a central upright post and two hanging pans suspended by cords. The entire device is enclosed within a beaded border running along the upper periphery of the flan. The field is otherwise plain, with no legend or additional symbols. The design reflects the Egyptianizing commercial iconography associated with Nectanebo II's Levantine bronze coinage.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Nectanebo II, last native pharaoh of Egypt, issued bronze coinage in the Levantine territories under Egyptian control — an accommodation to Greek mercantile practice rather than any domestic Egyptian tradition. Pharaonic Egypt had no indigenous coinage culture; these small bronzes exist because the eastern Mediterranean economy demanded them.
