TYPE Ancient Greece, Satraps of Caria, Maussollos (377-353 BC), silver hemiobol, Miletos mint, 0.41g DESCRIPTION . Obv: Head of roaring lion to left, foreleg facing right below Rev: Lion's head facing, as viwed from above, with forelegs to the side REFERENCE: Gr 297.27 GRADING: AVF / AEF, obv. slightly o/c, scarce ORDER INFO: G1728, $105 A scarce issue of the famed king whose majestic tomb - the original Mausoleum - was to become one of the seven World Wonders. An interesting design in its own right, with a double lion representation - the familiar for this area roaring head accompanied here by the unusual frontal view of the beast, as if stalking prey, here in a very nice rendition. The obverse reveals that this design is really the forepart of a lion to right, with his head reverted. These issues revive archaic Milesian types, and some claim this to be really an archaic AR obol.
