ISLANDS off CARIA, Rhodos. Rhodes. Circa 125-88 BC. AR Hemidrachm (12mm, 1.23 g, 11h). Uncertain magistrate. Radiate head of Helios facing slightly right / Rose with bud to left; uncertain magistrate’s name above, sun to right; all within incuse square. Cf. Jenkins, Rhodian, Group D; HGC 6, 1463.

It appears that the magistrate’s name was re-engraved or altered after the die broke, which renders it illegible.
