Watch List notes:

MESOPOTAMIA, Adiabene. Natounia. Late 2nd-early/mid 1st century BC. AE (Bronze, 19 mm, 5.34 g, 12 h). Radiate head of Helios-Shamash to right. Rev. Rider on dromedary right, holding short rod in his extended right hand. Hoover, Natounia, Series 1, 1-7. Seyrig, Trésor 13a. Rare and in exceptional condition for this intriguing issue, perhaps the finest known. Light deposits on the reverse and with traces of overstriking, otherwise, good very fine.


This coin was overstruck on an earlier issue, probably a Seleukid bronze, with faint traces of the original legend visible in front of the dromedary.
