Phokis. Federal coinage. Obol, 500 - 490 BC. AR 1.00 g., 12¢. Frontal bull’s head, the ears are larger than the horns, above, FO. Rev. Boar forepart to r. in incuse square, style very similar to the reverse of lots 175 and 176 (perhaps from the same hand), beaded truncation. Williams 13 corr. [Letters on the obverse not seen by Williams because of the unfavourable centring of the two known pieces from this obverse die; if he had seen them it is quite possible that he would have placed this piece earlier, in his section 1.] Obverse slightly off-centre, otherwise nicely toned and good very fine. Acquired from Spink’s, April 1997, for £ 80.
