Laranda Wolf Obol • Lycaonia • Silver • 324-323 BC
About
Struck in Laranda during the final years of Alexander’s world, this silver obol passed through Lycaonia when power was shifting and the future felt uncertain.
It moved between soldiers on campaign, traders at dusty crossroads, and locals buying bread and wine. Fingers turned it without thought, unaware of how far time would carry it.
More than 2,300 years later, this same coin endures. Quiet. Real. A survivor of ancient lives now resting in your hand.
You will receive the exact coin pictured.
Who held this before?
Picture Laranda in ancient Lycaonia. Dust rising from stone streets. Shepherds guiding flocks beyond the city walls. Traders arriving with silver, grain, and news carried from far away.
The world is changing fast. Alexander has conquered the known lands, and his shadow stretches everywhere. This small silver coin once mattered.
It may have paid a shepherd for wool at market. It could have passed through a merchants hands as he traded food for his family. Perhaps a young soldier carried it, fresh from campaigns that reshaped history, gripping it as proof of pay and survival.
The wolf on this coin watched over people who lived close to the land. People who feared gods, trusted omens, and endured uncertainty.
Their footsteps vanished. Their city faded.
The coin remains. Now it rests in your hand.
