KINGS of MACEDON. Demetrios I Poliorketes. 306-283 BC. Æ (13mm, 1.73 g, 2h). Uncertain mint in Asia Minor. Nike, blowing trumpet and holding stylis, standing left on prow of galley left / Poseidon Pelagaios standing left, preparing to throw trident; BA to left; to right, monogram above Δ. Newell 62 var. (legend, control mark); HGC 3, 1031 var. (same). Rough brown surfaces, patches of green encrustation. Near VF. Very rare.

This bronze bears the canonical types found in the ubiquitous early tetradrachms of Demetrios. The issue is missing from most collections, and this variety appears to be unpublished in the standard references.

Closing Date and Time: 2 December 2020 at 10:16:00 ET.
