Ancient Greek and Roman coins from Asia Minor


Coin ID #8876

(BC 490-460) Uncertain Dynast - Stater

Uncertain dynast, ca 490/80-470/60 BC. AR Stater (20mm, 9.58g). Forepart of boar right / Triskeles in linear square within incuse square. VF, toned, die break and old scuffs under tone on obverse.

This coin defies placement within the early groups defined by Vismara (Falghera), as the obverse style is a match for the Predynastic and Protodynastic A groups, while the reverse (anepigraphic triskeles) is canonical for Protodynastic B. Nevertheless, production of all of these groups overlap in the period 490/80-470/60 BC, to which this coin must belong.
