This short series of coinage from Oinoanda was apparently struck in three series, each marked with A, B, or Γ.

The obverse die used for this coin was originally used for series 2 didrachms, which have a B on the obverse.

Lykia Uncertain (BC 380-370) Obol602 viewsca 380-370 BC. AR Obol (0.56g). Murex shell / Sea serpent (ketos?). VF, attractively toned, small piece broken off and professionally repaired.

While the similarities to the type of Mithrapata suggest an attribution to that dynast, all of his coins bear at least a portion of his name and there are no letters on this coin. As types tend to be transferred from dynast to dynast, it is possible that this issue is from a contemporary of Mithrapata. The sea serpent, though, is not present on any published specimen of a Lycian dynast, which suggests that this coin may not be from the dynasts' series at all.
