Description

TROAS. Gargara. Hemiobol (Circa 440-400 BC).

Obv: Female head left.
Rev: Γ - Α.
Incuse pattern divided into six compartments.

Cf. Numismatik Naumann 52/ 139.

Sharing a similar obverse style with the specimen cited in the references along with the conspicuous ethnic "ΓΑ," this extremely rare piece has been placed under Gargara. Additionally, the odd "basketball-like" pattern on the reverse is somewhat reminiscent of the male head right/four-spoked wheel hemioboles of that city from this same period.

Condition: Very fine.

Weight: 0.41 g.
Diameter: 7 mm.
