MAURETANIA. ŠMŠ. Circa 50-1 BC. (Bronze, 19 mm, 4.16 g, 6 h). Facing head of Baal-Melkart. Rev. "MQM SMS" in Neo-punic Star between grain ear and grape cluster. Laffaille, "Choix de Monnaies Grecques en Bronze", 200 = Laffaille 657 (this coin). Mazard 647 (as Lixus) var (position of symbols). MAA 179. Müller 250. SNG Copenhagen 711 (as Lixus) var (position of symbols). A rare piece with a pleasant pedigree. This is the cover coin in Wildwinds for the mint: understandably so, given its superlative obverse! Very fine.

From the Vineyard Collection, ex Triton V, 15 January 2002, 593, and from that of Maurice Laffaille, Münzen & Medaillen 76, 19-20 September 1991, 657.
