I rather liked this for its elegant portrait and excellent state of preservation. Sold as a tetrobol, but at 1.58 grams I'm inclined to identify it as a triobol. Your thoughts?

Looks like SB-2496, but seems a little light AR tetrobol un between 2 - 2.4 grams.

I surveyed most of the Histiaia tetrobols available on Vcoins, and can confirm all were in the range of 2.0 to 2.4 grams.

Except two examples:
0.86 grams and 0.7 grams, which to my way of thinking, are waaaay too light, nevertheless still described as tetrobols.
