| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped female bust facing left, wearing a tall crown-like headdress adorned with small upright oval ornaments; hair falls long behind the neck. The shoulder is delineated by a row of crescents. In the right field, a stylized flower — possibly a lotus — rises on a long vertical stem. The style reflects strong Hellenistic artistic influence adapted to a local Arabian idiom. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
First-century Arabian gold staters of uncertain attribution remain genuinely difficult to assign — several small kingdoms along the incense and spice routes maintained enough commercial wealth to strike in gold, but rarely left records sufficient to pin a coin to a specific issuing authority. These pieces circulated in a network that connected South Arabia, the Nabataean kingdom, and Roman trading partners, functioning as transactional currency for merchants moving frankincense and myrrh northward toward Gaza and the Mediterranean ports.
The uncertain attribution is not a grading caveat — it reflects a real gap in the epigraphic record for this region and period.
