CILICIA. Uncertain mint, probably Tarsos. Circa 370-334 BC. Obol (Silver, 11 mm, 0.72 g, 12 h). Head of youthful Herakles facing, turned slightly to the left, wearing a lion skin headdress tied under his chin. Rev. Female head (Hera? Tyche?) to left, wearing a turreted crown ornamented with two discs and and an acanthus leaf, an earring with three pendants, and a pearl necklace. SNG Levante 242 (in the sylloge this coin is inexplicably given a reference, in error, to Traité II, 2, 1379). Rare. Struck from ambitiously engraved dies and nicely toned. Minor marks, otherwise, about extremely fine.

From the "Collection sans Pareille" of Ancient Greek Fractions and from the collections of L. Mildenberg and H.S. von Aulock (but not in the sylloge).
