Chimaira lying right, with its forepart of stag left / Facing gorgoneion within incuse square. VF, a little porous. Very rare. This coin appears is part of a series featuring the chimaira on the obverse and a gorgoneion in incuse on the reverse, for which drachms (M. Six, “Monnaies grecques, inédites et incertaines” in NC 1890, p. 235, 15), hemidrachms (C. Greenwell, “On some rare Greek coins” in NC 1897, p. 281, 2 = Boston MFA 2325; M. Six, op. cit., p. 235, 16-16bis), and obols (CNG 91, lot 345 and CNG 85, lot 477) are known.Oct 11, 2018 Uncertain (BC 500-450) bull - Obol194 views5th century BC. AR Obol(?) (8mm, 0.63g). Bull(?) standing right, head reverted / Quadripartite incuse square. Good VF, toned, some porosity. Well centered. Very rare. The animal on the obverse here appears to be the same creature featured on the obverse of other obscure early issues; see CNG 105, lot 393 (same denomination); CNG E-369, lot 140 and CNG E-321, lot 167 (obols); and CNG E-361, lot 748 (hemiobol). All of these coins have a similar style, and perhaps are from a single mint.Oct 11, 2018 Uncertain (BC 500-450) cow - Hemistater?415 views5th century BC. AR (6.05g). Cow standing left, head reverted, calf suckling right / Incuse head of African man left. Gemini sale 4, 2008, 195 (these dies). Of the highest rarity, apparently only the second known. Lightly toned, EF. A mint in Caria or Lycia in the 5th century BC has been suggested, and its weight of 6.05 grams suggests it was intended as a half-stater of the Aeginetan or Samian standard. The most likely influence might have been the electrum sixths of Phocaea attributed by Bodenstedt (Ph24 and Ph54) to before 522 BC and to the period 477-388 BC. This might be especially relevant since the Phocaean sister-coinage of Mytilene of ca 521-455 BC uses for its reverses the heads of animals and the head of Heracles, all of which are rendered incuse.Oct 09, 2018 Uncertain (BC 500-450) cow - Hemistater?130 views5th century BC.

AR Tetrobol (12mm, 2.40g, 12h). Janiform heads of bearded Silenos left and nymph(?) right / Head of female left within incuse square. Unpublished in the standard references. Good VF, toned, a little porous. Extremely rare.Oct 09, 2018 Uncertain (BC 500) Drachm167 views5th century BC. AR Drachm or Hemistater (?) (19mm, 6.36g). Uncertain standard. Chimaera standing right, raising forepaw, on dotted ground line / Rough incuse square. Unpublished. Near EF, toned, granular surfaces, scrape on obverse.

Good VF, toned, light porosity. Very rare. This issue was attributed to the island of Syros based on the reverse legend. Recent scholarship, however, has convincingly shown that this is erroneous, as the reverse legend does not contain an ethnic, but names the type: the Divine Syrian Kaberioi. As the issue has long been linked to a rare portrait emission of Eumenes I with the same reverse type, it is clear that it must belong to a mint in the sphere of the kings of Pergamon. Although it is tempting to attribute it to the royal mint at Pergamon, this Attic-standard issue could have been struck at one of several mints under Attalid control. See A. Meadows, “The Closed Currency System of the Attalid Kingdom” in P. Thonemann, Attalid Asia Minor (Oxford, 2013), pp. 184–91 for the most current analysis.Oct 09, 2018 Uncertain (BC 480-440) Stater151 views5th century BC. AR Stater (19mm, 10.77g, 6h).

Helmeted head of Mars (?) right / ΟΛBЄΩN, spear between caps of the Dioscuri surmounted by stars. Very rare. Slightly rough, otherwise gVF. SNG Levante dates this issue to the Roman Imperial times but the style, fabric and transversal ethnic look earlier. It may have been struck sometime in the 1st century BC, before the Teukrid priest-kings appear on Olba's coinage, with the obverse type reflecting the increasing Roman influence in the era.Oct 09, 2018 Pamphylia Uncertain (BC 200-0) Hemiobol246 viewsPerge (?), ca 2nd-1st century BC. AR Hemiobol (9mm, 0.39g, 1h). Draped bust of Artemis right, quiver over shoulder / Double cornucopiae. Very rare. gVF.
