Lot 2205
Collection Balance of the Shekels of Tyre type, including two Shekels, two Half Shekels and two bronzes. The coins are damaged and grade Fair-Good. Lot of 6 coins.
The consignor thought the bronzes to be possibly the central cores of fourrées, which seems most unlikely, as the shekels of Tyre were known thoughout the East for their purity of metal and full weight. They are the only coin type that the Jews would accept in payment for their Temple Tax.
Estimated Value $300 - 400.
