  Mysia, Kyzikos. Circa 480-450 BC. AR Hemiobol (0.33 gm). Forepart of boar left; tunny
  fish upwards to right / Blank. Cf. SNG Copenhagen 49 (lion on reverse). Good VF,
  porous. Estimate $60.

  Ex Classical Numismatic Group Auction 43 (24 September 1997), lot 502.



  Style and fabric suggest that this coin is part of the Boar/Roaring Lion series of
  hemiobols. In all likelihood, another flan came between this flan and the reverse
  die, thus leaving the reverse of this coin blank.
