(BC 562) Uncertain King - EL 1/24 Stater1657 viewsUncertain King, before 561 BC. EL 1/24 stater (0.55g). Milesian standard. Boar's head right / Four-part incuse square with roughly stellar pattern. Good VF.Jan 23, 2010

Karia Uncertain (BC 500-480) Stater611 viewsca 500-480 BC. AR Stater (10.82g). Lion's head left with foreleg below / Dipartite incuse square, parted diagonally. Struck from rusty dies. VF.

Attributed to Issos in Kilikia in earlier times, the obverse type is clearly reminiscent of Karian coins (cf. SNG Kayhan 929-30). In fact, B. Head had pondered Knidos as the place of minting (Historia Numorum, 1st ed. 1886), p. 523 note). This is certainly wrong - both the standard and the fabric are different - but Karia is still likely to be the area of this issue.

Kos (BC 480-470) Triple Siglos902 viewsca 480/70 BC. AR Triple Siglos (16.60g). [ΚΟΣ], Nude male youth in the process of hurling a disc. He is standing facing, weight on his right leg, while the left leg is crossing behind, the upper part of the body bent to its right side for getting into stride. On the left, the prize of the contest: a huge tripod. In the center, a flaw-spot. Dotted border / Irregular square incuse with diagonal lines. Of exceptional beauty and rarity. This is the last die of the first class of this issue. EF.Jan 23, 2010
image00224.jpg
(BC 470-440) Uncertain Dynast - 1/8 Stater?879 viewsca 480-450 BC. AR 1/8 Stater? (1.17g). Boar's head left / Protome of a man-headed bull facing left within incuse square. EF.

The reverse image is reminiscent of the coins of the Lycian dynast Uvug. The weight standard is hard to define, since the weights are somewhat erratic (along with the von Aulock coin, cf. Peus 372, 2002, lot 361). It might be a 1/6th stater on the light stater (c. 8.0-8.6 g), but actually this standard is known from 460 BC onwards only; cf. O. Morkholm and G. Neumann, Die lykischen Munzlegenden (Gottingen 1978), p. 5 f.

Erythrai (BC 520-480) EL Hekte1666 viewsca 480 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.56g). Head of Herakles facing left, wearing lion-skin headdress, truncation adorned by a row of dots / Four-part incuse square, one quarter filled. Good VF.1 commentsJan 23, 2010
image00199~0.jpg
Phokaia (BC 600-522) EL 1/6 Stater 1537 viewsca 600-560 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.60g). Female head facing left, the hair interwoven by a (invisible) taenia, wearing earring; behind, seal swimming downwards / Irregular incuse square. Apparently unpublished. Several contact marks on cheek, otherwise good EF.

This coin surely belongs to the earliest issues of Phokaia. The early stage is proven by both the irregular form of the incuse (without a clear quadripartite structure) and the style of the obverse image. The nearest stylistic parallel might be a stater of Aeginetic weight, once attributed to Knidos (cf. Cahn, Knidos p. 75 pl. 19, 1 with earlier literature).

The female head appears to imitate the Syracusan decadrachms of the engraver Kimon, but without slavishly copying his work.

Phokaia (BC 387-326) B86 - EL 1/6 Stater3627 viewsca 380-360 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.54g). Bearded head facing left, wearing Persian headdress; behind, seal swimming / Four-part incuse square. Of exceptional quality and struck in high relief. Choice EF.

Bodenstedt interpreted the head as a portrait of the Persian satrap Tissaphernes. While Tissaphernes was a bad candidate - he was executed in 395 BC (while the coin was issued some decades later) - it is not yet clear whether the head is meant to be a portrait altogether. J.H. Kroll called the 'satrapal portraits' "generic rather than individualized representations" (The Emergence of Ruler Portrait, in: Schultz/von den Hoff (eds), Early Hellenistic Portraiture (Cambridge 2007), p. 114), and C. Harrison has convincingly shown that many of the so-called 'satrapal portraits' are meant to represent the heroized Persians who raised Darius I to the Persian throne (Numismatic Problems in the Achaemenid West, in: Gorman/Robinson (eds), Oikistes. Studies Offered in Honor of A.J. Graham (Leiden 2002), pp. 301-319). Harrison's theory does not apply in this case, since the head gear does not have that famous knot at the forehead. So it may well be that one of the satraps of the 370s and 360s is intended, perhaps Autophradates, then satrap of Lydia and the fiercest opponent of the satrap of Paphlagonia Datames during the satraps' revolt 368-358 BC.

Phokaia (BC 600-522) EL 1/6 Stater 1122 viewsca 6th century BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.56g). Seal between two fish swimming in different directions; pellet behind / Rough incuse square. Exceptionally rare. VF.

This puzzling issue was earlier attributed to both Cyzicus and Macedonia. However, due to weakly struck examples, the seal between the fish has never been recognized before ("an oval object between two pellets" and the like). The weight standard is clearly Phocaean and not Milesian, so unlikely to have been used in Northern Greece.
