ASIA MINOR, Uncertain mint. Circa 500-450 BC. AR Hemiobol (5mm, 0.28 g). Eagle in flight / Wheel. Seemingly unpublished. Fine, porous.
The types fit well with Chalkis in Euboia, although this denomination is unrecorded and the reverse lacks the usual triangular incuse. The eagle does not appear on coins of other mints employing a wheel on the reverse and the attribution must for now remain uncertain.
