WESTERN ASIA MINOR, Uncertain. 4th century BC. AR Obol(?) (8mm, 0.69 g, 7h). Laureate head of Apollo left / Kantharos; Z-P flanking base. Roma E-17, lot 224 var. (rev. in square incuse); otherwise, unpublished in the standard references, but cf. SNG Arikantürk 535 for a this type on obols of Temnos. Lightly toned, some find patina, minor die wear. VF. Very rare.

Ex Leu Web Auction 15 (27 February 2021), lot 608.

The letters on the reverse are ostensibly an ethnic, as the T-A on the simiarl issue at Temnos, but a Z-P does not fit any known coin-issuing mint (it is not listed in Leschhorn).
