Troas Uncertain (BC 480-420) Trihemiobol(?)642 viewsca 5th century BC. AR Diobol(?) or Twelfth Stater (1.16g, 9mm, 6h). Head of bull right within dotted linear square border / Gorgoneion facing within incuse square. VF, lightly toned, slightly granular. Extremely rare.

This type is unpublished, but similar pieces are known for Abydos and Kebren (and also possibly Gergis; see Triton XVI, lot 437), where the obverse features the civic badge of the city (eagle at Abydos and ram at Kebren) and the reverse has a facing gorgoneion in incuse square. The style of the gorgoneion here is also consistent with these other issues.
