Phocis, Federal Coinage Obol circa 500-490 BC, AR 9mm., 0.64g. Frontal bull's head of larger size and lower relief. Rev. Boar forepart of fine style to l. in incuse square, beaded truncation. In field l., Φ above and O below. Dies not in Williams. BCD Phokis-Lokris 187 (this coin).

Good Very Fine.

Ex NAC sale 55, 2010, 187. From the BCD collection.

The obverse style is close to O.13 and this would place this coin in the next section to which Williams did not assign any obols. The reverse is a more developed version of R.8 and possibly from the same hand. Williams post 12. In addition, winning bids of EEC clients for this coin are subject to a 5% fee on hammer price as a reimbursement for import duty paid to HMRC.
