| Additional information |
The Lihyanite kingdom, centered at Dedan in the northwestern Arabian Hejaz, occupied a commercial corridor connecting the incense routes of southern Arabia to the Levantine coast. Their coinage is poorly documented in the primary literature, and the Huth corpus remains the principal reference — itself built largely from private collection material rather than controlled excavation. The "var." suffix on this attribution signals that this piece deviates from the type in some detail Huth catalogued, likely in crescent placement or die axis, though the specific deviation would require direct comparison.
