BCD Thessaly II 883.2 var. (Themistogenes’ name in the nominative); HGC 4, 210. Good VF, toned.


From the BCD Collection.

Though not visible on this example, the reverse is a die match with another stater from the BCD collection which features Themistogenes’ name in the genitive rather than the nominative as on BCD Thessaly II 883.2.
