I presume to offer to your Lordship and the Society, an attempt to explain an unpublished coin, which has a head of Hercules on one side, and a club behind the head; and on the other a sea-horse, with three Phœnician letters under the horse, an aleph, a nun, and a thau, making together the word anath. When I say that this coin has not been published, or commented on, I mean that I have not found it in any of the principal books on the subject of this species of coins. I have been told indeed of its being in this cabinet and in that, but never have been able to learn that any explanation of the letters has been any where given. There are so many places to which Hercules belongs; and so many of which the sea-horse might have been an appropriate symbol that were it not for the inscription, it would only be in our power to say, This is the type of a Tyrian coin, without being able to fix the exact place where it was struck.
