| Remarks: | (1) | This obverse is found on staters from Tarsos and Mallos, see e.g. SNG France 2, 237 (Tarsos, ca. 370 BC) and SNG France 2, 403 (Mallos, ca. 350-333). The reverse corresponds to the mirror-inverted Type 2.5a-b, but with a different control mark in upper right field. Lederer 1931, p.198 ff. (Group VI), dates these coins to the period ca. 370-365 BC. The obverse thus probably copies the coins from Tarsos and this strange coin was probably struck in the 360s BC. SNG France 2 describes the style of this coin as barbaric. It is very likely a contemporary imitation. |

| Type X.3 | |
| Denomination: | AR Hemiobol |

| Remark: |
SNG Levante Supp. attributes this type to Nagidos. This attribution is uncertain as there are obols with a turtle on the obverse and a male face and the inscription MAP on the reverse which can undoubtedly be attributed to Mallos. See, for example, Classical Numismatic Group, Auction 90 (23 May 2012), Lot 643 (acsearch.info URL). There are also two other anepigraphic coin types with a turtle on the obverse that are usually attributed to Mallos: Turtle / forepart of man-headed bull, AR obol. For example, H. D. Rauch GmbH, Auction 96 (10 December 2014), Lot 107 (acsearch.info URL). Turtle / swan, AR hemiobol. For example, SNG Levante, 168 (the swan mistakenly described as a lotus flower) = Classical Numismatic Group, Mail Bid Sale 66 (19 May 2004), Lot 560 (acsearch.info URL). |

| Remark: | The identification of the deities is uncertain. The linear border does not occur on other Nagidos silver coins, but is present on some bronze coins of Type 5.1c (see e.g. Savoca Coins, 133rd Silver Auction, Lot 109). |
