It&#039;s a little light for a drachm (1/3 stater) but too heavy for a triobol (1/6 stater). It has the number &quot;1421&quot; (upside down) in India ink on the obverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>It might be deaccessioned from the Carnegie Museum of Natural history sold by Spink, possibly Auction 43 04/18/1985.

Does anyone have this catalog?</p><p>2. If not from Carnegie, any other ideas where the coin was marked with this number?</p><p>3. Does anyone have a coin with similar numbering?</p><p>4.
