Mauretania, Iol Æ20. Circa 2nd century BC. Head of Isis left with neatly combed hair rolled up into a fringe and three spiral locks falling over back of neck / Three grain ears, Neo-Punic letter 'beth' above, two pellets in left field. Unpublished in the standard references, for types cf. Müller p. 177, 290 (uncertain Mauretania); Mazard 554-5 (Iol-Caesarea); Alexandropoulos 147; SNG Copenhagen 684. 3.97g, 20mm, 12h.
Extremely Fine. Apparently unique and unpublished.
The identification of the obverse bust is almost certainly that of Isis whose characteristic attribute, the vulture headdress of Hathor, is clearly depicted on the standard references.
