<p>[QUOTE="Neal, post: 3273347, member: 43872"]Thanks for the help, Silverlock. The coin in that auction has a head, not just a helmet. The seller, in calling "Like Neandria" was, I think, comparing it to an obol found at <a href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/troas/neandria/t.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/troas/neandria/t.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/troas/neandria/t.html</a>, described as "Neandria, Troas. AR obol, 9 mm, 0.79 g. 6th century BC. Corinthian helmet left / Quadripartite incuse square. SNG Turkey 9, 664-665; SNG Kayhan 743 (as uncertain mint); SNG Turkey 1, 743 (ditto)." The helmet on my coin is simpler, but that may have been because the coin was earlier or because the smaller size dictated a simpler design. Or it could be from a completely different city.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
