| Beschrijving voorzijde | Highly stylized and schematically rendered bust of Athena facing right, executed in a pronounced local Arabian imitative style. The helmet and facial features are rendered in broad, sweeping incuse curves rather than naturalistic detail, reflecting the indigenous engraver's abstraction of the Athenian prototype. Two crescent symbols are placed on the cheek beneath the eye, a distinctive diagnostic feature of this Lihyanite emission. The flan is irregular and the relief is bold, characteristic of provincial hammered coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
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.
