ASIA MINOR, Uncertain mint. 5th century BC. AR Hemiobol (7mm, 0.36 g). Horse’s head right / Rough incuse square. Cf. Tzamalis 88 (cruder style with mane and neck indicated by series of dots; Thraco-Macedonian mint); cf. Klein 332 (Kyme in Aeolis); Traité -. Good VF.

While such coins are generally assigned to an uncertain Thraco-Macedonian mint, the style of the current coin is more refined than any of the horse types in Tzamalis. “Horse/incuse” types were almost certainly minted at multiple locations, and a mint in (western?) Asia Minor would seem logical based on provenances.
