Head of bearded Persian satrap (Pharnabazos) left, wearing a Persian tiara bound with an elaborate diadem; behind, seal swimming downwards / Quadripartite incuse square. Unique and apparently unpublished. aEF. This coin bears what is surely a portrait of the famous Persian satrap Pharnabazos, who was active in Hellespont during the last years of the 5th century. He based himself in the city of Daskyleion, which had been a possession of his family since the 470s. His family was related to the Achaemenid royal house. The portrait is surely Pharnabazos since it is exactly the same as on named silver staters issued ca 410 probably in Kyzikos but possibly in Ionia (as BMC, Ionia, p. 352, 12, Kraay/Hirmer 618 and SNG von Aulock 1216). It is fascinating that his portrait should appear on a hekte from Phokaia - the fact that it was hitherto unknown implies that it was originally issued in very small numbers, perhaps as a donative of some kind.Oct 15, 2009 Phokaia (BC 600-522) EL 1/6 Stater2005 viewsca 525 BC. EL Hekte (2.57g). Head of eagle to left with frontal eye and hooked beak; dotted neck truncation; below, seal swimming to left / Irregular incuse square. Unpublished. Of great rarity, the finest of the 3 examples known. Good EF. This exceptional piece, which was unknown to Bodenstedt, should date to the late 6th century (Bodenstedt’s dates are generally thought to be somewhat high). For a similar but slightly later eagle head, see the later issues of Cypriot Paphos (as ACGC 1088 and Traité II, 1278 ff.) but these are somewhat more fussily done and lack the piercing look of this eagle. The only eagle heads that can compare with this one in power were those engraved over a century later by the artist Da... and his followers at Olympia.Oct 15, 2009 Phokaia (BC 250-200) AE 525 viewsca 250-200 BC.
