NABATAEA. Obodas II. 30-9 BC. Æ (24mm, 10.05 g, 12h). Diademed bust right / Filleted cornucopia. Meshorer,
Nabataea –; cf. Schmitt-Korte II 15. Fine, dark earthen green-brown patina, crude strike. Very rare.
Although this type is known for Malicus I, the style of the bust is far removed from those of Malichus, while it is a match for Schmitt-Korte 15.
