ASIA MINOR, Uncertain. 5th century BC. AR Obol(?) (8mm, 0.63 g). Bull(?) standing right, head reverted / Quadripartite incuse square. Cf. AMNG III/2, p. 139, 32 (type left); cf. CNG 106, lot 113 (triobol). Good VF, toned, some porosity. Well centered. Very rare.
The animal on the obverse here, and on the previous lot, appears to be the same creature featured on the obverse of other obscure early issues; see CNG 105, lot 393 (same denomination); CNG E-369, lot 140 and CNG E-321, lot 167 (obols); and CNG E-361, lot 748 (hemiobol). All of these coins have a similar style, and perhaps are from a single mint.
