TROAS, Ilion. Circa 185-50 BC. AR Tetradrachm (38mm, 14.46 g, 12h). Uncertain president of the aonothetai. Helmeted head of Athena right / The Palladion: Athena Ilias standing right, holding distaff and filleted spear; to inner left, monogram above star; to inner right, owl standing left, head facing; traces of name in exergue. Ellis-Evans dies O6/R– (unlisted rev. die); Bellinger –. Lightly toned, roughness and scratches. VF. Very rare.

This obverse die is known to have been used on issues of Metrodoros, Eudemos, and Phoinix, but none of the these names closely match the traces of letters that are visible in the exergue. Also, the monogram here is not known for any of their issues; it is only known on issues of Apemantos, whose name also does not fit the traces of the name that are visible.

Closing Date and Time: 20 July 2022 at 10:38:00 ET.

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