ASIA MINOR, Uncertain. 5th century BC. AR Sixth Stater – Hemidrachm(?) (11mm, 1.91 g). Bull(?) standing right, head reverted / Quadripartite incuse square. CNG E-277, lot 25 (same die and punch); otherwise unpublished. Toned, a little granular. Good VF. Very rare.

From the Asher D. Atchick Collection. Ex Classical Numismatic Group 108 (16 May 2018), lot 251.

The animal on the obverse here, and on the previous lot, appears to be the same creature featured on the obverse of other obscure early issues; see CNG 105, lot 393 (same denomination); CNG E-369, lot 140 and CNG E-321, lot 167 (obols); and CNG E-361, lot 748 (hemiobol). All of these coins have a similar style, and perhaps are from a single mint.

Closing Date and Time: 8 January 2020 at 11:43:20 ET.

All winning bids are subject to an 18% buyer’s fee.
