Description

★ Five Athenian tetradrachms on the reverse ★

SAMARIA. 'Middle Levantine' Series. Circa 375-333 BC. Obol (Silver, 9 mm, 0.65 g). Triform bearded male head, wearing round cap. Rev. Five Athenian-style coins with owls in a flower-like arrangement. Meshorer & Qedar 141. Sofaer 185. Very rare and of great interest. Somewhat rough, otherwise, very fine.

From the Canaan Collection.

The reverse of this very interesting issue shows five coins with owls on the reverse, presumably Athenian tetradrachms, piled up in a flower-like arrangement. The obverse, on the other hand, was copied from a very rare Cilician obol.
