<p>[QUOTE="Factor, post: 18534220, member: 96413"]No, this coin has quite clear Nabataean '30' and to the left of it another numeral, most likely '4'. So overall the date would be year 34 of Aretas IV, however one cannot entirely exclude 31 or 32. Moreover, this particular coin is illustrated in the book of Younis Al-Qatanani, number 106-t3. The interesting thing about this coin is it's unusual style. The style is different from official Nabataean drachms of this period, a bit 'barbaric'. Such coins are known, but very rare, all dated late 20s and early 30s of Aretas rule.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
