Although this reverse type is only known on obols, and no hemiobols are previously known with this type, the weight is very low for the theoretical weight of 0.40 grams for an obol at this time. There are also no apparent pellets in the field on the reverse, which are canonical on the obols.
Closing Date and Time: 26 May 2021 at 10:05:20 ET.
All winning bids are subject to an 18% buyer’s fee.
