Very Fine. Apparently unpublished and possibly unique.
From the collection of a London antiquarian, formed since the 1980s.
The fact that the present coin has the same reverse stellate pattern as the Diobols of Miletos (cf. SNG Kayhan I 462-75 and SNG Copenhagen 953) and some of the silver coins of the satraps of Caria (cf. HN Online 2926), leads us to attribute its origin to one of these two regions.
