[QUOTE="Finn235, post: 3649255, member: 98035"]Nice way to come out of the dry spell! Cilician coins are some of my favorites; vastly underrated compared to the rest of Greece IMO. I've owned a bunch, sadly only a couple of which were staters.

[ATTACH=full]980148[/ATTACH] Kelenderis AR obol, Unpublished variety, maybe an overstruck obverse?
