Holmoi (BC 4th cent) Obol363 viewsca 380-375 BC. AR Obol (0.49 g, 10mm, 7h). Helmeted head of Athena right / OΛMITAN, wreathed head of Apollo right. VF, toned, minor porosity. Extremely rare variety. Krizan Coll.

Typically, the ethnic found on the coins of Holmoi, if not truncated, are in the form OΛMITIKON, OΛMVTIKON, or OΛMITON. The form on this coin, ending -AN, is possibly the result of an engraver accustomed to the Aeolic dialect, rather than the standard Attic. Apart from this specimen and another from the same reverse die that appeared in CNG 70, lot 318, there are apparently no recorded coins with this variation of the ethnic.
