Local Issues: Baktria, imitation of ionian obol 0.75g

Obverse depicts roaring lion and reverse depicts boar with forelegs outstretched. An interesting piece as it has been speculated to have been minted under the Branchidae, a priestly clan in charge of the apollo temple at Didyma, a town near Miletus in Ionia who were resettled by Darius in exchange for their lives and the temple's treasure. They were subsequently resettled by Xerxes in baktria.
