SAMARIA, Samarian-signed Series. Circa 375-333 BC. AR Obol (10.5mm, 0.64 g, 12h). Galley left; ŠMRYN (in Aramaic) above, waves below / Persian king, standing right, battling lion, standing left on its hind legs; MZ (in Aramaic) between; all within dotted square border. Meshorer & Qedar 96; Sofaer 38 corr. (letters on rev.). Find patina. Good VF. Well centered with clear legends. Exceptional for issue.

From the Dr. Jay M. Galst Collection, purchased from Menashe Landman, 16 January 2003.

The clarity of the letters on the reverse here verifies that the reading was correct in Meshorer & Qedar, contra Sofaer.
