236, Lot: 193. Estimate $150.  
 
Cilicia, Uncertain. Circa 333-323 BC. AR Obol 10mm, 0.71 g. 

Helmeted head of Athena right.
Shield ornamented with thunderbolt. 

Göktürk 27-8 var. (no thunderbolt, B or BA on rev.); SNG France 
476 (head of Athena facing slightly left) and 489 var. (no 
thunderbolt, B on rev); SNG Levante 119 (head of Athena 
facing slightly left) and 123 var. (no thunderbolt, B on rev.);
 
Near VF, light porosity, scratches, very minor deposits on 
reverse. Unpublished in the standard references. 

Perhaps a transitional issue between the unsigned facing head 
coins with thunderbolt and the profile head issue lacking the 
thunderbolt and with the letters B or BA (=the Persian satrap 
Balakros).
