Nomos, Obolos 5, lot 406 (According to them, this previously unknown Mallos Drachm could provide an intriguing connection to the yet unattributed Cilician Obols featuring a sphinx on the reverse and a Gorgoneion on the obverse. Could these coins also originate from Mallos? This hypothesis, if confirmed, would offer valuable insights into the numismatic landscape of ancient Cilicia). Deeply toned. Very Fine.
