BAKTRIA. Pre-Seleukid Period. Sophytes. Circa 325-300 BC. AR Diobol (10mm, 0.78 gm). Head of Athena right, wearing Corinthian helmet / Cock standing right, caduceus to left. SNG ANS 27; MIG 31. VF, lightly porous. Rare. ($200)

Although a bit light compared with the diobol in ANS (at 1.10 gm), this coin has the same flan size, and shows evidence of metal flaking on the obverse. This could account for the lower weight.
