ASIA MINOR, Perhaps the area of Caria. Uncertain mint. Early to mid 4th century BC. Hemiobol (Silver, 6 mm, 0.21 g, 3 h). Female head to left, her hair bound in a tainia. Rev. Tamgha or monoskeles within a circular incuse. Apparently unpublished save for auction appearances. But for two pieces from the same dies as this see: Roma e100, 2022, 335 (obol, 0.42 g); CNG e346, 2015, 142 (hemiobol, 0.36 g). For the same reverse, see: SNG Kayhan 744. Very rare. Clear and darkly toned. Traces of double striking on the reverse, otherwise, about extremely fine.
From the "Collection sans Pareille" of Ancient Greek Fractions, ex Hauck & Aufhäuser 14, 6 October 1998, 83.
