<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Napata, post: 2319268, member: 76197&quot;]Hi,</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I have acquired such hemiobol with Attis on obverse and the quartipartite incuse on the reverse. It was bought from Savoca-Coins from a rather mere <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Savoca-Coins-Uncertain-Hemiobol-Satrap-Incuse-Square-0-26-g-8-mm-DAS3661-/262184413362?hash=item3d0b68a8b2:g:dSEAAOSwHQ9WaRxh" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Savoca-Coins-Uncertain-Hemiobol-Satrap-Incuse-Square-0-26-g-8-mm-DAS3661-/262184413362?hash=item3d0b68a8b2:g:dSEAAOSwHQ9WaRxh" rel="nofollow">price</a>. I have seen common Achaemenid sigloi with more invested bidding wars than this hemiobol.</p><p><br /></p><p>Funny to discover it is a rare type afterwards.
