CNG 84, Lot: 516. Estimate $300. Sold for $310. This amount does not include the buyer’s fee.

BLACK SEA REGION, Uncertain mint. Circa 125-00 BC. Æ (15mm, 2.91 g, 12h). Jugate heads of the Dioskouroi(?) right / Cornucopia between pileoi of the Dioskouroi; [...]ΛIA-ΔΩ[...] below. Unpublished. VF, dark green patina with patches of red and brown. Apparently unique.

The reverse type was used at a variety of mints in the Black Sea region during the early period of Mithradates VI of Pontos. Typically, the city ethnic appears across the field below the pileoi. However, the only ethnic that remotely resembles the legend on this coin would be that of Ilion, but not only were these types unused there, the ethnic always used an omicron rather than an omega from well before and after the period this coin belongs to.
