ID:     81000630      [UNVERIFIED] Type:     Ancient East Region:     NABATAEAN KINGDOM Issuer:     Obodas III Date Ruled:     30-9 BC Metal:     Silver Denomination:     Drachm Weight:     4.11 g Die Axis:     12 h Obverse Description:     Laureate head of Obodas right Reverse Description:     Veiled and draped bust of queen right; date across field (partially visible) Mint:     Petra Primary Reference:     Meshorer, Nabataea - Reference2:     Schmitt-Korte II - Reference3:     CNG 78, lot 952 corr. (same obv. die) Photograph Credit:     Classical Numismatic Group Source:     http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=140176 Grade:     VF, find patina Notes:     Sale: CNG 81, Lot: 630 Very rare. Though missing parts of the reverse legend, this coin shares an obverse die with CNG 78, lot 952, inadvertently attributed to Malichus II. On this previous example, the name Obodas is visible, along with a clear reading of the year. The obverse die linkage would suggest that the present example is from year 11 as well. Otherwise an unknown type, the two coins represent the only known silver issues from year 11 of the reign of Obodas III.
