Sold for $1100. This amount does not include the buyer’s fee.

PAMPHYLIA, Aspendos. Circa 380/75-330/25 BC. AR Stater (23mm, 10.95 g, 11h). Two wrestlers grappling; LΦ between, below / Slinger in throwing stance right; EΣTFEΔIIYΣ to left, counterclockwise triskeles of legs to right; c/m to lower right: head of lion right in incuse circle. Tekin Series 4; Arslan & Lightfoot 61–72 (same dies); Izmir 413 (same dies, with c/m); SNG von Aulock 4565; SNG France 105 (same obv. die); SNG Copenhagen 227. Good VF, lustrous surfaces. Well centered and struck.


Arslan & Lightfoot lists a new obverse die (OD2) for their nos. 71–72, but a comparison of the these coins to nos. 61–70 shows that this is not correct; all the coins are from the same obverse die (OD1).
