Sorry, but this is a quite notorious replica, not a genuine shekel of Tyre.
Specifically, this is the one with the mis-spelled reverse legend. It's supposed to say "TYROY IERAS KAI ASYLOY" (Tyre, Holy and Undefiled" but on this coin, the word KAI ("and") is mis-spelled as KI. These were mass-produced and sold as "thirty pieces of silver" replicas by Antiquanova, among others. FORVM database entry for an example.
