Phokis. Lot of two silver triobols, 478 - 460 BC. 227.1: AR 2.79 g., 6¢. 227.2: AR 2.97 g., 9¢. Two consecutive Williams numbers but with very different obverses. The first with a compact, rectangular shaped bull’s head with large ears and small horns, the second with a large triangular head in high relief. Rev. On the first coin, a fine head to l. by the hand that crafted the previous die (R.89=R.90), no letters in the field; the second coin has another head to the l. that is not by the same hand, around it F-O-K-I anticlockwise, starting from top r. Two interesting coins, their dies known by only one other specimen for each of them, the first nicely toned in mid grey, the second very lightly toned, very fine.
