CILICIA, Issos. Tiribazos, Satrap of Lydia. 386-380 BC. AR Stater (10.61 gm). Ahura-Mazda, body terminated by solar disk, holding wreath and lotus blossom; AMI left / Baal standing half-left, holding eagle and sceptre. SNG Levante 177 (this coin); SNG France 416; SNG von Aulock 5602. Toned, good VF. ($750)

Although SNG Levante and SNG France place the Ahura-Mazda figure as the obverse for the Issos and Tarsos staters, the evidence of die matrices suggests it should be the reverse.
