Last additions - Michael Kyzikos (BC 390-340) Drachm?468 viewsca 3rd century BC. AR Drachm(?) (5.07g, 20mm). Head of Kore Soteira left, with hair in sphendone; ΣΩTEIPA / Head of lion left; monogram to left; below, tunny left; KYZI. The weight of this piece is significantly heavier than SNG BN 408-10, which are closer to 3.25g. Additionally, the obverse style is much closer to the following series featuring the seated Apollo reverse type. BN 419 fits the obverse style and weight, but is of the later reverse type, pointing to a possible hybrid or transitional issue. Very rare and interesting. Very fine, some porosity.Nov 29, 2019 Kyzikos (BC 390-340) Hemidrachm280 viewsca 390-340 BC. AR Hemidrachm (1.48g, 12mm). Wreathed head of Kore Soteira left, hair in sakkos / Head of lion left; tunny fish below (off flan), KYZI around. A very rare denomination, one other example is documented as having been sold at auction (CNG E177 lot 93) in 2007, and a third example in poor condition was sold on eBay in 2015.Nov 28, 2019 Kyzikos (BC 550-500) Obol330 viewsca 550-530 BC. AR Obol (0.77g, 9.5mm). Two tunny facing left, one above the other / Quadripartite incuse square. This is the SNG von Aulock plate coin (7327), however the tunnies are oriented facing right in the SNG publication. Nov 27, 2019 Kebren (BC 480-440) Obol319 viewsca late 6th-early 5th century BC. AR Obol (0.55g, 8mm). Head of a ram to left; below, tunny left. / Quadripartite incuse square. Extremely rare, one of a very few known examples. Very fine.Nov 26, 2019 Gargara (BC 350) AE 12402 viewsca 400-200 BC. AE12 (1.96g, 12h). Head of Hermes right, wearing petasos / Horse standing right; ΓAP above. Unpublished in the standard references. Very Fine. Extremely rare; possibly the first known example. From the inventory of a German dealer.Nov 25, 2019 Pitane (BC 150-50) AE192 viewsca 150-50 BC. AE (3.78g). Head of Zeus with laurel wreath, facing right, surrounded by circular dotted border / Facing head of Zeus, wearing horns of Ammon, within an ivy wreath.Nov 24, 2019 Phokaia (BC 600-522) EL 1/6 Stater555 viewsca 625/0-522 BC. EL Hekte (2.59g, 9mm). Mother seal swimming to left with a young swimming to right below, each with annulet above. / Rough incuse square. Apparently unpublished and unique, a wonderful coin with an incredibly charming obverse. Nearly extremely fine. The name Phokaia is derived from the Greek word Φωκάι, which translates as 'seals' and is still found, as a Greek loanword, in the modern Latinian languages today (fr. 'phoque', it./span./portug. 'foca'). Unsurprisingly, the lovely animals served as a badge on Phokaia's coins, most commonly in the form of a small seal below or behind a larger main type. The earliest coinage of the city, however, still retains the seal as main type: on the present example, we find one of the most charming renderings of animals in all of Archaic Greek coinage, in the form of a mother seal swimming to the left with her young heading to the right below. The fact that mother and child swim in opposite directions gives the scenery an enchanting playfulness that almost certainly derives from personal observation by the artist - perhaps he was watching the animals romping around the small islands in the bay before Phokaia?Nov 23, 2019 Pitane (BC 330-280) Hemiobol171 viewsca 400-300 BC. AR Hemiobol (6mm, 0.28g, 7h). Female head to right / ΠΙ in incuse square. Apparently unpublished. Very fine.Jan 19, 2019 Kyzikos (BC 550-500) Obol270 viewsca 550-500 BC. AR Obol (1.06g, 9mm). Crab holding tunny right within raised claws / Quadripartite incuse square. Though numerous silver fractions have been attributed to Kos or to an uncertain area in Thrace-Macedon, this particular issue would seemingly be more associated with Kyzikos on account of the tunny. Very rare and interesting.Jan 19, 2019 Kyzikos (BC 460-400) EL Stater338 viewsca 450-330 BC. EL Stater (16.04g, 22mm). Lion standing right, biting into sword, on tunny right / Quadripartite incuse square. EF, lightly toned. Well centered and struck.Jun 17, 2018 Kyzikos (BC 550-500) EL Stater145 viewsca 550-450 BC.

AE12 (1.85g). Telephanes, magistrate. Helmeted head of Athena left / Head of ram right, TΗΛΕΦΑΝΗΣ around. gVF.Jun 13, 2018 Klazomenai (BC 500-494) EL Stater1307 viewsca 500-494 BC. EL Stater (14.01g, 19mm). Forepart of winged boar right; rose above / Quadripartite incuse square. Good VF, toned. Extremely rare issue, this variety with rose unpublished. Milesian standard. This coin appears to belong to a diverse series of electrum staters struck on the Milesian standard that Kraay (ACGC p. 30), and others, have tentatively attributed to the period of the Ionian Revolt. Although none have ethnics, the obverses of many of the coins are of types common to various cities involved in the revolt. Kraay notes the significant problem with the theory is that none of these coins feature a type attributable to Miletos, the city that led the revolt, but he proposed that it was possible the entire series was struck there as a centralized mint. Thus the types could either represent the cities that contributed resources to the revolt or successive Milesian officials who oversaw the coinage production. If the obverse type does represent the city, this issue would most likely belong to Klazomenai, all of whose contemporary coinage featured a winged-boar forepart.Jun 13, 2018 Klazomenai (BC 375-340) AE 17207 viewsca 386-301 BC. AE17 (4.35g, 1h). Kronios, magistrate. Helmeted head of Athena right / Ram kneeling right. VF, dark green patina.

VF, toned, patches of find patina. Extremely rare, the second known tetradrachm with this magistrate “for the third time”. The previous lot (CNG108 Lot 231) is a tetradrachm also in the name of Diotrephes, and is likely an issue from the same individual named here, but struck during his first iteration as a magistrate.Jun 05, 2018 Antiocheia (BC 150) Tetradrachm396 viewsmid-late 2nd century BC.

Facing scalp of panther / Head of bull right within incuse square. gVF. Though some hemidrachms from Samos feature a facing panther/bull head in profile, the weight of this piece is assuredly well below a hemidrachm and the style, especially of the bull, is much more similar to the uncertain 'bull' issues from Caria.May 12, 2018 Prokonnesos (BC 400-350) Obol202 viewsca 450-425 BC.

Lion standing left, head turned right, raising left forepaw / Forepart of bull (or boar?) right in dotted square within incuse square. Unpublished. Near EF, toned, patches of find patina. Apparently unique. The obverse type is similar to the reverses of a Carian series featuring a winged male deity on the obverse (cf. SNG Kayhan 977–8 and Rosen 624), as well as an archaic Carian stater issue featuring a lion’s head turned back (cf. Dewing 2350–2). The type combination here also is commonly used on various issues in Caria; all attributed to uncertain mints.May 11, 2018 Pitane (BC 300-250) AE 15141 views4th-3rd century BC. AE15 (1.8g).

Head of Apollo left / Head of Prokles right, wearing Persian headdress; tamgha (of Prokles?) below chin. VF, toned, porous. Extremely rare, the third known. According to Xenophon (Hell. 3.1.6), the cities of Teuthrania and Halisarna were ruled by the brothers Eurysthenes and Prokles as a hereditary territory that had been awarded to their ancestor, the exiled king of Sparta, Demaratos the Lakedaimon, by Xerxes for accompanying the Great King on his Greek expedition (see Hdt. Book 7 for the relationship between the two). The hereditary rule of Teuthrania and Halisarna by the direct descendants of Demaratos, among whom were Eurystenes and Prokles – namesakes of the twin ancestral establishers of the Spartan royal line, suggests that these rulers were not satraps, but local dynasts (for a bibliography of the discussion on the differentiation between satraps and dynasts, see O. Mørkholm, “Pergamene Coins in Copenhagen,” in Studies Mildenberg, p. 182, note 2). Thus, this is one of the earliest depictions of a Greek ruler on a coin.May 18, 2017 Neandreia (BC 400-300) Hemidrachm505 viewsca 4th century BC. AR Hemidrachm (1.82g, 11mm, 2h).

AR Hemiobol (0.46g, 7mm). Head of lion right, holding tunny in mouth / Irregular incuse punch. Most probably Kyzikos - the image reminds of the early obols of Kyzikos which depict a tunny with fish in its mouth.
