ARKADIA, Kleitor. Circa 370-350 BC. AR Obol (0.87 g, 6h). Helmeted head of Athena right; A behind / Bridled horse galloping right, trailing rein. BCD Peloponnesos 1421 var. (Λ, not A); SNG Copenhagen 219 (same obv. die); Warren, Kato 72 (this coin). EF, some die wear on obverse. Very rare.


Ex BCD Collection (not in LHS sale); 1980 Kato Klitoria Hoard (CH VII, 147).

An examination of the die wear on the obverse reveals that the A may actually be an Λ with a die break through it.
