KYRENAIKA. Kyrene. Circa 331-322 BC. Obol or 1/10 Stater (Gold, 7.5 mm, 0.83 g, 9 h), seemingly struck under the magistrate Theupheides, but without his name. Head of Karneios to left, wearing a taenia and with a ram's horn over his ear; all within a heavy, linear border. Rev. Head of Kyrene to right, her hair in a roll and with a pendant earing; all within a linear border. Apparently unpublished, but for an example struck from the same dies, albeit of lesser quality, see Obolos 36, 2025, 564. Cf. Naville 45 ff. An extremely rare variety lacking the magistrate's initials. Minor marks and bangs, otherwise, nearly extremely fine.

From the Battos Collection.
