NABATAEA. Obodas II, with Hagaru I. Circa 30-9 BC. AR Sela’ – “Drachm” (17mm, 4.43 g, 12h). Petra mint. Dated RY 9 (22/1 BC). Jugate diademed and draped busts of Obodas and Hagaru right / Diademed and draped bust of Obodas right; Nabataean Ḥ to left, [ŠNT] 9 (in Nabataean = year 9 [date]) at end of legend to left. CN 45a; Meshorer, Nabataea –; DCA2 1015. Lightly toned, a little off center, striking flaw on obverse. VF.

With the off centering on the reverse, it is not possible to see whether the numeral for 10 precedes the 9 on this coin, which is a known occurrence (year 19 = CN 62a). However, the portraits on this coin have an early style that is only present on issues up to year 10.
