Another similar example in terms of style and low weight in relation to our lot could be the CNG, e-558, 194. That coin is 'An intriguing imitation of Athens's pi-style coinage,...reminiscent of early Mesopotamian imitation. The weight is quite low, but the coin is not a fourrée, which suggests it is intentionally at this weight, which may equate to a local standard, close to that of a Phoenician shekel' (CNG note).
