Obv:- Laureate head of Apollo facing
Rev:- Inverted anchor; A to left, crayfish to right

Part of the now infamous "Black Sea Hoard". At the time of printing the BOC considered these to be ancient imitations. Current thinking based on more recent evidence is that they are of modern Bulgarian manufacture.

They differ in style from real examples and whilst there are numerous die matches between the coins in the hoard, there are no die matched with known examples from outside the hoard. Subsequent "hoards", loosely called the "New York Hoard" and others, have also come to light in more recent times. The existence of so many (there are many thousands of them) diobols from Apollonia Pontica and Mesembria that have been placed into the market makes purchasing original examples relatively challenging and the area of collecting these types should be made with some caution.
