| Beschrijving voorzijde | A male deity, identified as Melqart or a marine divinity, is depicted in right profile riding a hippocamp above two horizontal wave lines, grasping the reins in one hand and an arched bow in the other. The hippocamp, a mythological sea-horse, is rendered with careful detail characteristic of Phoenician engraving tradition. A dolphin swims rightward in the exergue below the waves, reinforcing the maritime iconographic program. The overall composition is dynamic, emphasizing the divine mastery over the sea, a theme central to Tyrian civic identity. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Tyre operated with remarkable monetary autonomy under Achaemenid suzerainty, and these civic shekels were the engine of Phoenician trade finance throughout the eastern Mediterranean. Azemilcus was the last king of independent Tyre — it was during his reign that Alexander besieged the city in 332 BC, a seven-month operation requiring the Macedonians to construct a causeway across open water to reach the island citadel. Azemilcus himself was absent commanding the Persian fleet when the walls finally fell.
