KINGS OF COMMAGENE. Mithradates III (?), circa 20-12 BC. AE (Bronze, 19 mm, 7.33 g, 12 h). Crab. Rev. BA•ME / M•TOY /•M• in three lines. Alram 249. Kovacs p. 42, note 45. Very rare. Spot of corrosion on the reverse, otherwise, very fine.

While Alram attributes this issue to Mithradates III, Kovacs notes: 'Alram 249, coin with crab obverse and BA•ME/M•TOY/•M• reverse, is probably an issue of Carrhae for another king (Kovacs, forthcoming)'. Pending Kovacs' publication, we do follow Alram's traditional attribution here
