AKARNANIA, Thyrrheion(?). Circa 350-300 BC. AR Drachm (13mm, 2.07 g, 3h). Pegasos flying left; very faint ΘY(?) below / Head of Aphrodite left, wearing stephane. BCD Akarnania –; SNG Copenhagen –; BMC –. VF, porous.
From the Dr. Georgios I. Michael collection.
The attribution is tentative, as none of the standard collections hold ‘Pegasos/head of Aphrodite’ drachms. The ‘Y’ is fairly clear under magnification, the ‘Θ’ slightly less so.
