This is a rare Nabataean coin of Obodas II from his RY 6 which was 25/24 BC. He was the father in law of Aretas IV by his first wife Huldu. This reignal year is also the first Nabataean coin to have crossed cornucopias on it. Crossed cornucopias became a staple in Nabataean coins from that time on. This is truly an uncommon coin. In this condition, they generally list for $250-$300 and have a premium if the date is legible, like it is on this one. This is a darker flan that requires extra light to see the details. With the eyes, noses, and mouths clearly visible and the second portrait not worn off, and the date visible, This coin is guaranteed to be authentic. Grading is subjective. In my opinion, this coin is CHF or possibly VF.
