Selge (BC 300-190) Stater

ca 300 BC. AR Stater (10.60g, 12h). Two wrestlers grappling; AΛ between / ΣΕΛΓΕΩΝ, Herakles standing facing, head right, holding club overhead in his right hand, lion skin draped over left arm. EF, lightly toned. Unpublished and extremely rare transitional issue. This coin pairs an obverse die from the earlier series (reverse in a square pelleted border) with a reverse from the later series (reverse in a circular pelleted border). The artwork is particularly good, which also suggests an earlier, rather than later, issue.
