Kamnaskires Posted June 6, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 6, 2022 That would be my guess. Either that, or a rendition of B.O.B. from Disney's The Black Hole.

Benefactor robinjojo Posted June 6, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted June 6, 2022 Yes, that is a Lihyan owl, similar to this one: Lihyan Kingdom, BI 'tetradrachm' owl, 2nd-1st centuries BC, 12.89g Generally speak the coinage grew progressively smaller, abstract and crude over time, to this point: Lihyan Kingdom, AE tetradrachm owl imitation 2nd-1st centuries BC, 7.4 grams. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
