| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bearded male head facing left in high relief, rendered in an archaic to early classical style characteristic of Cilician coinage. The heavily textured beard and hair are depicted with fine, striated detail, conveying a mature, powerful visage. The face is broad and strongly modelled, consistent with representations of a river god or Zeus-like deity associated with the city of Mallos. The flan is irregular and slightly convex, with the design occupying the full field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Mallos was a Cilician city whose political status in this period was genuinely contested — Athenian, Persian, and local dynastic interests all pulled at it simultaneously. The city was famously granted by Artaxerxes II to his mother Parysatis around 400 BC, a gift that so enraged the Mallians and neighboring Tarsos that both cities revolted. Small silver fractions like this obol circulated through exactly that turbulence.
