Kingdom of Persis AR Obol (2nd century BC) XF NGC
Dating back to the second century BC, this silver AR Obol offers a tangible connection to the ancient Kingdom of Persis. Despite its diminutive size, containing just 0.0050 troy ounces of silver, the coin has survived the millennia in exceptional condition, earning a generic certification of Extra Fine. The obverse of this ancient coin features the profile bust of an unidentified monarch, a silent testament to a ruler whose specific identity remains lost to time. On the reverse, observers can examine various intricate designs characteristic of the era. Because of the hand-struck minting techniques of the second century BC, individual specimens may exhibit fascinating technical variations, such as a slight shifting of the die during production.
