Description from the seller
Pisidia, Selge.
350-300 BC.
Obol (Silver, 12 mm, 1.02 g).
Obv: Head of Athena to right, wearing crested Attic helmet; behind, astragalos.
Rev: Facing gorgoneion with protruding tongue.

Selge was one of the most important cities of ancient Pisidia, situated high in the Taurus Mountains of southern Anatolia. Its defensible position and fertile territory supported considerable independence and prosperity. Known for agriculture, regional trade and a strong military tradition, Selge issued extensive civic coinage reflecting its identity. Though drawn into Hellenistic conflicts, it remained an influential Pisidian city before passing under Roman rule.
