Hi everyone,
The attached image is of an
Obol I recently picked up a show. Neither the ancients dealer
nor myself have been able to definitely attribute it.
Wgt: .75g
Dia: 9.5mm
I did look through various references and online for possible eastern imitations without a lot of luck. To me, the
obverse resembles some of the drachms at the top Plate 24 of
Svoronos, but the
style of the
reverse is quite different. I think the round mark on the front of Athena's
face is some kind of
countermark, but it is hard to tell.
Any
help would be most appreciated.
