Janiform head, at right a satyr with turned-up nose and long beard, at left a maenad, the hair covered by a sakkos / Female head facing right within trapezoid incuse. Some light contact marks on the reverse. EF. This is one of the first issues of the city of Mytilene, and is exceptional not only for its early date but also for its extraordinary obverse type. Perhaps the third specimen known.Jan 23, 2010 Kyzikos (BC 460-400) EL Stater1330 views5th century BC. EL Stater (16.08g). Head of Attis right, wearing Phrygian cap; below, tunny right / Quadripartite incuse punch. Choice EF. Rare, and among the finest.

EF.Jan 23, 2010 Kyzikos (BC 430-370) EL 1/6 Stater1333 viewsca 420-350 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.70g). Cerberus standing left, tunny fish below / "Windmill-sail" incuse. VF.Jan 23, 2010 Teos (BC 520) Stater570 viewsca 520 BC. AR Stater (12.08g). Griffin squatting right, raising one paw / Four-part incuse square. Exceptionally beautiful, sharply struck image of griffin. One of the earliest coins struck at the city. Mint State.Jan 23, 2010 (BC 562) Uncertain King - EL 1/24 Stater1666 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) Stater617 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.Jan 23, 2010 Mylasa (BC 175-100) Tetradrachm419 viewsca 175-150 BC. AR Tetradrachm (9.17g). Rose with two buds, M in inner left field; bunch of grapes (?) to left / [I]Α-Α, eagle standing right on palm branch, spreading wings; ΑΠ in right field. Extremely rare. This is only the second time one of these has been offered at public auction and two others are recorded in museum collections. Virtually Mint State.Jan 23, 2010 Kaunos (BC 410-390) Stater601 viewsca 410-390 BC. AR Stater (11.74g).

Nude male figure advancing right in running-kneeling position; wings at shoulders and heels, Karian letter above / Karian legend ('ZMB' retrograde), lion walking left, head reverted, one paw raised; within square dotted border inside incuse square. Very rare. Obverse flatly struck, otherwise good VF. Gerson Coll. Jan 23, 2010 Kos (BC 480-470) Triple Siglos910 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 (BC 470-440) Uncertain Dynast - 1/8 Stater?884 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.Jan 23, 2010 Erythrai (BC 520-480) EL Hekte1678 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 Phokaia (BC 600-522) EL 1/6 Stater 1548 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).Jan 23, 2010 Phokaia (BC 387-326) B111- EL 1/6 Stater1296 viewsca 350-330 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.54g). Head of Athena facing left, wearing crested Corinthian helmet decorated with a serpent on the bowl, and necklace; beneath truncation, seal / Four-part incuse square. Good VF.Jan 23, 2010 Phokaia (BC 387-326) B107 - EL 1/6 Stater1072 viewsca 390-370 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.53g). Head of the Lydian queen Omphale facing left, wearing Herakles' lion-skin, shouldering his club; beneath truncation, seal swimming left / Four-part incuse square. EF.Jan 23, 2010 Phokaia (BC 387-326) B102 - EL 1/6 Stater1463 viewsca 360 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.53g). Female head facing left, wearing laurel wreath, the hair covered by a saccos; beneath truncation, [seal] / Incuse square. Tip of chin off flan, otherwise EF.Jan 23, 2010 Phokaia (BC 477-388) B94 - EL 1/6 Stater964 viewsca 400-380 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.55g). Female head facing left, wearing hair-net and earring; behind, seal swimming downwards / Four-part incuse square. Extremely beautiful femle head. EF. The female head appears to imitate the Syracusan decadrachms of the engraver Kimon, but without slavishly copying his work. Jan 23, 2010 Phokaia (BC 387-326) B88 - EL 1/6 Stater1408 viewsca 360-340 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.54g). Head of Hera facing left, wearing a polos adorned with palmettes; behind, seal swimming upwards / Four-part incuse square. It is very unusual to find a head of Hera on an electrum coin. Good VF. The obverse image is borrowed from Argive models (cf. BM Peloponnesus pl. 27, 9). Jan 23, 2010 Phokaia (BC 387-326) B86 - EL 1/6 Stater3647 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.Jan 23, 2010 Phokaia (BC 387-326) B84 - EL 1/6 Stater1394 viewsca 360 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.55g). Head of beardless youth facing left, wearing Persian headdress (Attis?); behind, seal (the head of which is visible) / Four-part incuse square. A few obverse hairlines, otherwise choice EF.Jan 23, 2010 Phokaia (BC 477-388) B82 - EL 1/6 Stater901 viewsca 400-360 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.53g). Head of Hermes facing left, wearing petasos; behind, seal swimming downwards / Four-part incuse square. Good VF. Jan 23, 2010 Phokaia (BC 477-388) B80 - EL 1/6 Stater1334 viewsca 450-430 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.53g). Head of Herakles facing left, wearing lion-skin headdress; beneath truncation, [seal swimming left] / Four-part incuse square. Obverse struck in high relief. Good VF.Jan 23, 2010 Phokaia (BC 387-326) B73 - EL 1/6 Stater1266 viewsca 380-360 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.52g). Head of Pan facing left, with goat's horns and hind ears; behind, seal / Four-part incuse square. Unusual head of youthful Pan.

EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.53g). Chalkidian helmet to left, with seal symbol swimming left on helmet / Four-part incuse square. Extremely rare type. The example in Bodenstedt is not better than this. VF.Jan 23, 2010 Phokaia (BC 477-388) B59 - EL 1/6 Stater950 viewsca 480-450 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.57g). Ram standing right, turning head backwards and scraping his nose; beneath, seal swimming left / Four-part incuse square. Quite rare. Exceptionally interesting presentation of the subject.

Head of a lion (or lioness) facing; to left, seal swimming downwards / Four-part incuse square. EF.Jan 23, 2010 Phokaia (BC 477-388) B53 - EL 1/6 Stater1060 viewsca 450 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.56g). Head of a lion (or lioness) facing; to left, seal swimming downwards / 'Window' incuse. Choice EF. The obverse image is borrowed from the coinage of the Bruttian city Rhegion. Jan 23, 2010 Phokaia (BC 477-388) B51 - EL 1/6 Stater1988 viewsca 480-440 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.58g). Head of a he-goat facing left, the truncation adorned by a row of dots; beneath, seal swimming left / Four-part incuse square. EF.Jan 23, 2010 Phokaia (BC 521-478) B48 - EL 1/6 Stater765 viewsca 520 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.57g).

Forepart of cock facing left; in upper right field, seal swimming left / Incuse square with rough surface. Truly exceptional image. EF.Jan 23, 2010 Phokaia (BC 600-522) EL 1/6 Stater 1133 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.Jan 23, 2010 Phokaia (BC 521-478) B35 - EL 1/6 Stater1014 viewsca 510-490 BC. EL 1/6 Stater - Hekte (2.57g). Head of a man-headed bull (river god) facing left, the truncation adorned with a row of dots; at right, seal swimming upwards / Four-part incuse square.

Head of ram left; seal swimming left below / Incuse square. Exceptionally well-centered for such a small coin. EF. Strangely enough, the minor fractions of this issue are not recorded by Bodenstedt, including Boston 1897 and SNG von Aulock 1798.Jan 23, 2010 Ionia Uncertain (BC 550-500) Horse - EL 1/121486 viewsca 550-500 BC.
