CNG 94, Lot: 283. Estimate $1000. Sold for $1600. This amount does not include the buyer’s fee.

KINGS of MACEDON. Demetrios I Poliorketes. 306-283 BC. AR Tetradrachm (26mm, 17.08 g, 5h). Amphipolis mint. Struck circa 289-288 BC. Diademed and horned head right / Poseidon Pelagaios standing left, foot on rock, holding trident; monograms to outer left [and right]. Cf. Newell 124. Good VF, lightly toned, compact flan.

Although the right side monogram is off the flan, the style of the obverse portrait is somewhat unusual for Amphipolis, but is very similar to the late obverse die CXXX (Newell pl. XIII, 10). It is therefore likely that the monogram is the same as Newell 124.
