SAMARIA AR MA'AH ( OBOL ), 4th CENTURY B.C.E.
Meshorer & Qedar 210, Sofaer --, Very Fine, somewhat rough obverse, 11mm, .59 gram, Struck Circa. 375 - 333 B.C.E.
Obverse: Janiform bearded male head
Reverse:Two owls standing facing each other
A EXTREMELY RARE Samarian Ma'ah struck on a rather large flan for this type. We are aware of ONLY two other examples in existence, (one of which has been on the market), both in similar condition. The softness between the owls seems to be a feature of this issue. No examples in the extensive Sofaer collection.
