Very rare denomination.Jun 20, 2011 Magnesia (BC 400-350) Drachm502 viewsca 350-300 BC. AR Drachm (3.30g, 15mm, 6h). Laureate head of Apollo right / Forepart of bull butting right; kerykeion above. VF, flat strike in centers, porous. Unpublished. The style and fabric of the coin are consistent with the coinage of Ionia in the mid-late 4th century BC. The Apollo / bull butting types are common at Magnesia, but the absence of any maeander pattern casts doubt upon an attribution to that city. There are rare gold issues with these types at Samos (cf. Barron pl. XXX, 14-5), but it is unlikely that this is a previously unknown silver issue from that mint.Jun 20, 2011 Pordosilene (BC 400) Hemiobol863 viewsca 400 BC. AR Hemiobol (0.48g, 7mm, 8h).
