"COIN OF THE MONTH" - SAMARIA AR MA'AH, 4th CENTURY B.C.E.
Meshorer & Qedar 92, Choice About Extremely Fine, 9.1mm, .48 gram
Obverse: Female head to right, hair in chignon, wearing jewelled headband with center piece, SN behind head
Reverse: Helmeted head of Athena to right
Centered and VERY SHARP being well struck on BOTH sides! No doubt among the finest of the few specimens known!
Only 3 specimens on acsearch. Two in a poor condition and one (we think ours is nicer) which fetched over $3,300 in 2011, see here.
