CARIA, Uncertain ('Mint E'). Circa 380-340 BC. AR Diobol or Trihemiobol(?) (11.5mm, 1.37 g, 12h). Milesian standard. Bearded head of male right / Forepart of bull left; Carian letter y on to lower left. Konuk, Coin M48; HN Online 1707. Iridescent tone, struck with worn reverse die. Good VF. Attractive, well centered portrait.

This issue is sometimes given as an issue of the Carian dynast Hekatomnos, based on a reading of the letter as a Greek E, but this attribution is very unlikely (see the note after Konuk, Coin M49).
