Additional information

Tyre's autonomous bronze coinage of this period followed the city's restoration of mint activity after decades of Seleucid dominance. By the second century BC, Tyre was reasserting commercial independence across the eastern Mediterranean, and its bronze issues circulated heavily in Phoenician trading networks stretching from Cyprus to the Nile Delta. SNG Copenhagen 338 places this piece within a well-documented but relatively small die corpus, suggesting constrained output rather than mass municipal issue.
