Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 10/05/2021 7:59 pm I came across this unattributed piece today amidst a shop's unsorted material. Roughly 9mm across with a weight of 0.98 of a gram. I believe I have it identified as a silver trihemiobol issued during the 4th century BC rule of Hekatomnus, Satrap of Caria, possibly cataloged as SNG Kayhan 864 and Traite II 87. It exhibits some porosity but still overall a decent specimen, I'd judge.
