Watch List notes:

CARIA. Kasolaba. Circa 410-390 BC. Obol (Silver, 6 mm, 0.37 g, 4 h). Head of a ram to right. Rev. A𐋃-O ('azo' in Carian) Youthful male head to right. SNG Kayhan 997 = Konuk, Kasolaba, 10. Beautifully toned and in exceptional condition for the issue. Nearly extremely fine.


Following a reinterpreted reading of the letter 𐋃 as 'z' by I.-J. Adiego, Konuk ascribes this enigmatic issue to Kasolaba, a hitherto unlocated city known from Athenian tribute lists to have been situated somewhere between Halikarnassos and Mylasa.
