KINGS of MACEDON. Amyntas III. 394/3-370/69 BC. AR Fraction (10mm, 1.50 g, 4h). Aigai or Pella mint. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Eagle standing left, head right, in linear square [within incuse square]. Westermark, Remarks, pl. LXX, 33; HGC 3, 830 (hemidrachm?). Toned, granular surfaces. VF.

From the collection of a Northern California Gentleman, purcahsed from Freeman & Sear, September 1999.

As noted by Westermark, the weights of these fractions vary dramatically, so their exact denomination is unknown. Across a variety of numismatic publications, they have been called tetrobols, hemidrachms, and diobols, but all designations are speculative.

Closing Date and Time: 27 January 2021 at 10:42:00 ET.
