Spain, Emporion AR Obol. Circa 480-475 BC. Two sphinxes facing each other, conjoined at the breast and heads, which face outward / Rough incuse. P. Pau Ripollès and J-A Chevillon, 'The Archaic Coinage of Emporion', in NC 2013, p. 12 fig. 4; ACIP 1; R-C 33. 0.98g, 10mm.
Extremely Fine. Extremely Rare (ACIP estimated 2-3 known examples), and among the finest known. Certainly on par with, if not in fact superior to, the example of HJB 191 (2014), lot 13 which hammered for $3,080.
