                              From the Robert A. Weimer Collection.

                              The style of this example is consistent with obols 
                              of Susa, and H is a control used there in 
                              conjunction with AX. However, the H is always 
                              placed to the lower right and AX in the central 
                              position when used at Susa, where here the H is 
                              definitely in the center.
