NABATAEA. Obodas III. 30-9 BC. Æ As (9.98 g, 1h). Diademed bust right / Filleted cornucopia; Nabataean ‘Year [...]’ across field,’ [Obodas] king of the Nabataeans’ around. Meshorer, Nabataea -; cf. Schmitt-Korte II 15. VF, dark green patina, layer of earthen encrustation. Very rare issue.

Although this type is known for Malicus I, the style of the bust is far removed from those of Malichus, while it is an exact match for the Schmitt-Korte coin.
