Lot description:


PISIDIA. Selge(?). Circa 400-350 BC. Hemiobol (Silver, 5.94 mm, 0.32 g). Head of roaring lion left. Rev. Astragalos in shallow incuse. Asia Minor Coins (online) 13071. Anson VI, 620. Porosity, dark toning. Near Very Fine. Very Rare.

The combination of roaring lion with knucklebone seems to be unattested in the primary references. The obverse type might be associated with some uncertain mints in Caria, so the attribution of this coin is uncertain.

Starting price: 20 CHF
