    Nice stamp! I don’t recall seeing these for achaemenid coins from Anatolia, are they local eastern issues under a satrap there?

      I know bent-bar coins of this type originated in Pakistan/India, so I suppose it must be a imitation of that local sort. Unfortunately, I know very little about these coins - in general, and this one in particular.

        It’s definitely not where I am strongest either, but I do have some lycian coins from the Achaemenid era, will post one. They have very different designs.
