| Beschrijving voorzijde | Facing female head, identified tentatively as Arethusa, rendered in three-quarter view with flowing, tightly curled hair framing the face and cascading to the sides. The effigy displays large, deeply set eyes and full lips characteristic of the Cilician archaic-to-classical transitional style. Pendant drop earrings with triple pendants are visible at each side of the face. The field is plain, with no inscription or legend present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cilicia in the fourth century BC was littered with semi-autonomous dynasts, satraps, and city authorities all exercising local striking rights under loose Achaemenid oversight — which is precisely why so many small silver issues from the region resist firm attribution today. The SNG Levante corpus brought some order to the problem, but dozens of types remain pinned only to the broader region.
Obols of this weight class circulated as everyday fractional currency in an economy where larger denominations changed hands rarely for most people.
