PHOENICIA, Arados. Circa 380-350 BC. AR Obol (9mm, 0.51 gm). Laureate head of marine diety right / Galley right; Phoenician letters above waves below. Betlyon -; BMC Phoenicia -; SNG Copenhagen -; Baramki -; Rouvier -. VF, toned.

This and the following coin are unusual in that the lettering in the field above the galley is not recorded in any of the standard references, and therefore suggests that they may be imitative. Further research is certainly warranted.
