Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; monogram in left field; below throne, Δ above monogram. Price 2686 corr. (monogram in left field); ADM I Series XX, 403c-d (same obv. die). Superb EF, toned. Fine style.

Ex Triton XV (3 January 2012), lot 1132 (sold for hammer $2250, but not paid).

The description of Price 2686 omits the monogram in left field that was in the previous issues, but this description is erroneous. ADM I Series XX, 403c-d notes that the Δ has been added below the throne, but the other monograms of Series XX also continue. This is further verified by Thompson’s remarks on the Megara Hoard on pp. 93-4 in ADM, where she reports on coin 403c, and includes this monogram.
