17C041
TROAS, ABYDUS
El Trite (4.66 gm)
c. 500 B.C.

Eagle standing l., looking backwards, with closed wings / Incuse. Cf. BMC pl. I, 23 (stater); cf. SNG Munich 1(stater). Ex NAC 59, 610.

This trite is difficult to attribute, but the eagle on the obverse points to Abydus as an obvious possibility.

Extremely Rare. The second known specimen.
