ARKADIA, Psophis. Circa 450 BC. AR Obol (1.02 g, 10h). The Keryneian Hind standing right / Fish left; + above, • below; all within irregular incuse. BCD Peloponnesos 1676 corr. (incuse shape, same dies). VF, toned, porous, a few light marks. Extremely rare.
Ex BCD Collection (not in LHS sale).
The incuse on this coin is quite unusual in that it is circular on the right and square on the left (the latter shape is more obvious on the BCD coin).
