CILICIA. Mallos. Circa 440-390 BC. Obol (Silver, 7 mm, 0.81 g, 2 h). Head of bearded Silenos facing. Rev. Swan walking to left; all within incuse square. SNG France -. SNG Levante 145. Very rare, toned, and with a remarkable head of Silenos. Some surface roughness as found. Good very fine.

From the Vineyard Collection, ex Baldwin's 34, 13 October 2003, 306 and Münzen und Medaillen 41, 18 June 1970, 270.

It is worth pointing out that the illustration in Baldwin 34 is remarkably awful! Compared to the one here, and the one in M&M back in 1970, it seems to be from another planet.
