| Beschrijving voorzijde | Forepart of a lion advancing to the right, rendered in archaic Greek style with boldly striated mane and open jaws. The animal's powerful forequarters are depicted in profile with careful attention to musculature, consistent with the early Classical Carian coinage tradition. The design fills the flan, with the lion's head slightly lowered in an aggressive posture. The field surrounding the type is plain and unlettered. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Chersonesos in Caria — not to be confused with the better-known Tauric Chersonesos on the Black Sea — was a small peninsula settlement whose coinage output was modest and chronologically compressed. This obol falls within the period of Achaemenid dominance over the Aegean coast of Anatolia, when many Carian communities operated under Persian satrapial authority while still maintaining independent mint activity. The precise civic or dynastic authority behind this specific issue remains debated among specialists.
SNG Kayhan 1635 places it firmly within the Carian material assembled from Turkish collections.
