described here as:
Carthage - AE19 / Shekel (Sardinian mint 3rd century BC, 5.37 gm.) - Head of Tanit left / Head and neck of horse right (SNG Cop. 151 / S. 6523-28) - a.VF

so probably indeed from Sardinia. But these attributions are hardly provable.

This type exists with a lot of different symbols to the right of the horse's head:

On your coin the symbol is a pellet as here:

As Quinctilius wrote, this type usually is attributet to a sardinian mint, but with some uncertainty
.
