The electrum staters of Carthage are among the most fascinating and historically significant coins of the ancient western Mediterranean world, produced by the great Phoenician commercial empire whose rivalry with the Greek cities of Sicily and whose eventual conflict with Rome shaped the course of ancient history in ways whose consequences are still felt today. This Carthaginian EL Stater holds a Choice Very Fine grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), with an impressive 5/5 strike grade. Right now, Zeugitana Carthage EL Stater Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each Zeugitana Carthage EL Stater Coin available here comes in Choice Very Fine condition, representing the top of the Very Fine grading scale. The coin’s 5/5 strike grade is evident in the strongly struck visuals that retain their crisp details and are well-centered on the coin field. The 3/5 surface grade points to a coin with modest signs of wear and tear on the surface areas.
The electrum staters struck in Zeugitania, the heartland of Carthaginian North Africa, encompassing the region around the city itself, between approximately 320 and 280 BC, were produced during a period of intense military and commercial activity when Carthage was deeply engaged in its ongoing struggle for dominance over Sicily and its broader competition with the Greek world for control of western Mediterranean trade.
The obverse of Carthaginian EL Stater Coins features a female head in left-profile relief traditionally identified as Tanit, the principal goddess of Carthage. The reverse of Zeugitana Carthage EL Staters presents a horse, the symbol of Carthage par excellence, shown standing, prancing, or with a palm tree in compositions that draw on the deep Phoenician tradition of equine imagery. Struck in electrum, the naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver that was among the first metals used for coinage in the ancient world, Carthaginian electrum staters reflect both the city’s extraordinary commercial wealth and its sophisticated monetary traditions inherited from its Phoenician homeland.
