Rabel II with Queen GamilatAD 15
70 - 106 AD (struck circa 102 AD (?))
Ya'akov Meshorer, Nabataean Coins, QEDEM 3, Hebrew University, Jerusalem (1975) - (similar to 163), KS-K II - (similar to 87)
15 mm. 3.45 gm. Die position=12h
Obverse: Bust of king right.
Reverse: Two cornucopiae. Aramaic legend.
The legend on the reverse of this odd coin corresponds to other late issues of Rabel, with the 'beth' running underneath the 'aleph,' including another unpublished bronze variety (like this one) with a single bust on the obverse. [Coin No. 87 in Nabataean Coinage II by K. Schmitt-Korte in the 1990 Numismatic Chronicle has the reverse legend within a wreath and not between two cornucopiae.] This could be a transitional issue from the period between Gamilat's death in 102 AD and Rabel's new wife, Hagru.
