SIKYONIA, Sikyon. Circa 365/45-335/0 BC. Æ Chalkous (1.97 g, 1h). Dove flying right / Large letter san oriented vertically. Warren, Bronze 2.32; BCD Peloponnesos 277.11 var. (dove left). VF, green patina, a few rough spots. Very rare.


From the BCD Collection. Ex Maurice Laffaille Collection (Münzen und Medaillen 76, 19 September 1991), lot 362.

In the Laffaille sale, the cataloger noted a palmette below the san, but this was an incorrect interpretation of a patch of roughness in the patina. There are no markings notable on the reverse.
