Aspendos (BC 480) Obol276 viewsEarly-mid 5th century BC. AR Diobol or Eighth Stater(?) (10mm, 1.24g). Two wrestlers grappling; globule between / Incuse square punch. VF, toned, porous. Extremely rare.

Although this obverse type is featured prominently on the staters of Aspendos and Selge, this fraction does seem not fit into the scheme of either city’s coinage. This type was not used on their coins until late in the 5th century, certainly too late for this issue. Also, the weight of the two known pieces, at 1.04 and 1.24 grams, does not seem to comport with the weights of the other denominations at each city during the early-mid 5th century.
