UNCERTAIN. Circa 4th-2nd centuries BC. Æ (15mm, 3.89 g, 5h). Corinthian helmet right / Bull standing right; [...]O-ΠON above and to right. Apparently unpublished. Dark green-brown patina. VF.

Ex Classical Numismatic Group Electronic Auction 407 (11 October 2017), lot 234.

This puzzling piece seems to be unrecorded in references major and minor. The partial legend on the back seems to read O-ΠΟΝ, which could suggest Lokris Opountia (or Opous) as a possible issuer, but the types do not conform to any known bronze from that city. An interesting coin worthy of more in-depth research.
