AR Drachm (14mm, 3.27 g, 12h). Uncertain RY date, circa RY 19-22 (AD 88-92). Laureate and draped bust of Rabbel II right; [date to left] / Veiled and draped bust of Gamilat right. Meshorer, Nabataea 153-4; DCA 985. Lightly toned, compact flan, a little off center, area of flat strike.

It is not unusual for the date to be off the flan on Rabbel's drachms, but this issue must be among his latest, which are characterized by a more crude style.
