    AR Obol
    8mm 0.29g
    Obverse: Owl Standing Left, Head Facing, Crook and Flail Over Shoulder

    Comments: A Dark Patina Suggests this was a Most Likely a Cabinet Coin for Some Time. The Owl on The Obverse is Exceptional and I would Argue Rivals the Beauty of any Athenian Owl in its Style.
