Description
SAMARIA. Series with personal names and miscellaneous letters. Approximately 400-332 BCE. Mʿh = Obol (Silver, 10 mm, 0.58 g, 6 h). Youthful male head to right. Rev. Forepart of a bull to right, head facing; above, illegible legend; all within hallow circular incuse. CSC -. Hendin. Jeselsohn I -. Leu Judaica -. Meshorer & Qedar -. Shoshana -. Sofa -. Wyssmann -. Unpublished and unique, a very interesting piece. Areas of weakness and with light die wear on the obverse, otherwise, good very fine. This type was hitherto unknown. The reverse, with a bull protome with its legs drawn up within a circular incuse, is strongly reminiscent of CSC 232; however, letters can be discerned above the bull. A somewhat similar arrangement occurred on CSC 186, where different letters appear side a slightly different bull. Unfortunately, the letters on the present specific are no more legible than those on CSC 186. This lot can be shipped to a US address.
