        They were probably brought by traveling salespeople, looking to buy something British. My distant ancestors were Phoenician & they never passed up a place where they could buy & sell.

        I'd have no issue with that. Certainly Cornish tin is found in Scandinavia by c.750, and Cornish gold etc in Germany a millennia earlier, so...!

        @caitlinrgreen My wife is Numidian. She says the coins were probably used to purchase rain.

        Phoenicians were buying tin from Cornwall.

        I think the accumulation of archaeological, linguistic etc evidence suggests that this interpretation is now more credible than it was thought to be a few decades ago :)

        Phoenicians would have had base(s) in Cornwall for assaying and factoring the metal. They accepted their own North African coins in payment, and as they were the richest men in the area, these coins became the local currency.

        As the technology of bronze smelting spread through Britain, tin trade routes developed from Cornwall, and the North African coins followed these trade routes. Therefore, these coins are a marker for the spread of the Bronze Age in Britain.
