Æ15 - Karne Tyche

Karne — identified with modern Khirbet Qarn on the Lebanese coast — was a minor Phoenician settlement whose civic coinage output was extremely limited, placing this bronze among the rarer municipal issues of the post-Seleucid transition period. The dating bracket corresponds to decades of shifting suzerainty as Seleucid authority fragmented following Antiochus IV's death in 164 BC, during which smaller coastal towns briefly asserted enough autonomy to strike their own bronze.

Lindgren I#2292 is sparsely attested in major collections.
