CILICIA. Uncertain mint. Circa 400-350 BC. Obol (Silver, 10 mm, 0.64 g, 3 h). Female (Aphrodite?) facing, turned very slighty to the left, wearing pendant earrings and a pearl necklace. Rev. Facing head of Bes. Göktürk 44. SNG Levante 233. SNG Paris 486. Toned and attractive. Good very fine.
From the "Collection sans Pareille" of Ancient Greek Fractions and from the pre-1969 stock of Bank Leu.

Coins of this type were previously ascribed to Gaza, but the fact that they are found in Cilicia makes that attribution impossible.
