Greek Coins Arabia Felix Unlisted type "owl" AR 1/4 unit, c.350-150 BC, Saba' or Qataban, Arabia

Diademed male head LEFT / Owl standing right, head facing; monogram to left and right. 11mm, 1.10 grams. cf. Huth -; Zeno #-.

ex-Album.

Extremely rare, with its male obverse head, this type marks the transition in South Arabia from owl imitations to a coinage bearing local images. The type with the left-facing head does not seem to be known, but this generic type (with the ruler's head on obverse and the owl on the reverse was minted in Saba' and Qataban). Unique.
