SAMARIA. Circa 375-333 BC. AR Obol (0.51 g, 2h). Two figures advancing right, carrying animal tied to pole suspended on their shoulders; below, animal advances right, looking back / Persian king standing facing, head left, holding in each hand a lion by one of its hind legs. Meshorer & Qedar 130 var. (obv. type left). VF, toned, minor roughness.

Meshorer & Qedar list the types opposite to its presentation here, but all examples clearly show that the side with the Persian king is struck with the punch die, and therefore is the reverse.
