Summary
editDescriptionAntiochos x tarsus.jpg |
English: CNG 109, Lot: 346. Estimate $500.
Sold for $1000. This amount does not include the buyer’s fee. SELEUKID EMPIRE. Antiochos X Eusebes Philopator. Circa 94-88 BC. AR Drachm (17.5mm, 3.90 g, 12h). Tarsos mint. Diademed head right within fillet border / Sandan standing right, wearing polos, bow and quiver over his shoulder, holding labrys and flower, on the back of horned lion-griffin right; to outer right, N above ΠP monogram. CNG 99, lot 349 (same dies), otherwise unpublished. Good VF, toned, slightly off center, traces of undertype in field on reverse. Extremely rare, one of two known, and better than the CNG 99 example, which sold for $1500. From the MNL Collection. Ex Pecunem 23 (5 October 2014), lot 484. According to the description by Oliver Hoover at www.scaddenda.org (now defunct), which refers to this, the discovery coin: “This is the first coin known for the king at Tarsus. It is especially notable for its use of a pi-control similar to that previously employed by Antiochus IX and Seleucus VI at the city. It is overstruck on a host coin that had this same control, but apparently a different legend. It seems likely that the host is either an unrecorded variety of Antiochus IX drachm or an entirely unknown drachm of Seleucus VI.” |
