Kilikia (Cilicia), Soloi. ca 385-350 BC. AR Hemiobol (8mm, 0.32g). Helmeted head of Athena right / Bunch of grapes on stalk within shallow incuse square.
SNG Levante 48 var.; SNG France 188 var.; BMC p. 148, 24 var.
Fairly well worn, but cute tiny coin in hand.
While the obols of this series are fairly common, the hemiobols are usually very rare. This coin is quite rare and possibly unpublished with this style Athena and grapes, as well as the reverse incuse (which is usually not present on this type).
