Obol

正面描述	Facing frontal lion's scalp rendered in archaic style, with prominent open jaws, large almond-shaped eyes, and a boldly modelled mane rendered in radiating strands across the flan. The design is executed in high relief characteristic of early Knidian coinage, with the leonine features filling the irregularly shaped field.

附加信息	Knidos occupied a strategically awkward position on the southwestern tip of Anatolia, caught between Persian expansion and Greek commercial networks during precisely the decades this obol was struck. The city's early silver coinage belongs to a period when Knidos still operated as a significant trading hub before Persian administrative pressure reshaped its political arrangements after 494 BC. The Cahn reference places this among the earliest Knidian issues, a series notorious for its short production window and corresponding scarcity in any condition.
