New (to me) ancient coin

I got a bronze Carthaginian coin off eBay a few days ago. It looks something like this:



The coin that we ordered from a Canadian dealer last month still hasn't shown up, we are thinking it might have gotten lost in the mail/grabbed by customs/something. Alas, it was such a cool piece - issued by Antiochus IV, the Greek king who (basically) started the Maccabean rebellion in Judaea. I am hoping it might show up one day, but it has been longer than a month since it shipped.
