Description

This unusual silver coin, possibly issued by the Saraebans of Arabia Felix, reflects Greek stylistic influence extending deep into the Arabian Peninsula. Dated to the 3rd–2nd centuries BC, it features owl imagery, echoing Athenian numismatic traditions. Though graded Very Good by NGC, it holds immense intrigue due to its hybrid cultural context and geographic rarity—an intriguing acquisition for those interested in the fringes of Greek economic reach.
