Seven tetradrachms of Elaiussa are apparently known: Paris, Bibliotheque Nationale; Washington, Smithsonian (broken); London, British Museum; SNG Levante Supp. 221; CNG 36, lot 2037; CNG 45, lot 475; and the present specimen. According to Houghton and Bendall, the present piece appeared in 1986 in a hoard which also included seven Aegeae tetradrachms. The issue is to be dated after c. 95-94 BC, when Seleukos VI struck coins at Elaiussa, but before 83 BC, when Tigranes extinguished the city's independent existence. Elaiussa was an island in antiquity but is now joined to the mainland.

Uncertain (BC 4th cent) Persian King 2 - Obol387 viewsbefore 333 BC. AR Obol (0.52g). Bust of Athena facing / Great King standing right, holding scepter and bow. VF. 3rd known example.May 31, 2005

Kilikia Uncertain (BC 4th cent) Pegasos - Obol698 viewsca 375-333 BCE. AR Obol (0.55g, 9h). Diademed head of Zeus Karneios right, with ram's horn at forehead / Pegasos flying right; uncertain letter below. Good VF, dark toning. Both types completely unknown in the Samarian series.

This surprising Samarian obol combines a Zeus Karneios head that must have been influenced by the types of Kyrene and a Pegasos from the ubiquitous Corinthian staters. Neither seem to have much of a direct connection with Samaria.
