ARABIA, Southern. Ma'in (Minaia)(?). Circa 250-150 BC. AR BLṬT – “Tetradrachm” (18mm, 14.61 g, 1h). Imitating Athens. Stylized helmeted head of Athena right / Owl standing right, head facing, wings folded; [olive spray and crescent to left?]. M. Huth, “Monetary Circulation in South West Arabia” in CCK, p. 86, 21 (same dies); Huth 157. Traces of find patina, numerous light cleaning scratches. VF. Very rare.


This fascinating issue of derivative Athenian type was struck on a folded flan of another coin, and was originally attributed by M. Huth in 1998 to a mint in eastern Arabia, where all of the six then-extant examples had been found (cf. M. Huth, “The ‘folded flan’ coinage of eastern Arabia: some preliminary comments” in Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy 9 [1998]). The discovery of the al-Jawf hoard in 2002, however, definitively changed his view of this intriguing coinage. In his analysis of the hoard (in CCK), Huth determined that all of the previous six coins, and those found in the hoard, were struck at the same mint, in three phases that employed increasingly simplified methods. In the first phase, the coins were struck on previous tetradrachms that were folded over twice, forming a triangular shaped flan upon which derivative Athenian types were struck. The second phase consisted of coins struck on previous coins that had only been folded over once, forming a semicircular shaped flan. Finally, in the third phase, the host tetradrachms were cut into two halves that were then each folded once, then both halves were placed upon each other and joined by hammering, resulting in a triangular shape. The identification of the undertype used for this series in uncertain. While Huth originally surmised that Alexanders were the common host coin, his analysis of the al-Jawf hoard suggested that this was not likely. Though the question of the undertype remains unresolved, the hoard provided strong evidence that this series was not of eastern Arabian origin, but rather from a mint in the region of Wadi al-Jawf, in the Minaian trading sphere.
