Extremely rare, the second known. Falghera noted that this issue belongs to a group that bridges the anepigraphic and epigraphic period, which would place it circa 480 BC. Additionally, the name "EME" on Falghera 57, which shares the same obverse die as both Amartite coins, may actually be a contracted form of the name of this same dynast. (BC 520-480) Uncertain Dynast - Stater1051 viewsca 520-480 BC. AR Stater (9.3g, 17mm). Lion’s head right / Multipartite incuse square. Very rare. VF.

Near VF. (BC 520-480) Uncertain Dynast - 1/2 Stater?892 viewsca 521-478 BC. AR Drachm (4.12g, 14mm). Forepart of winged bull right / Quadripartite incuse square divided diagonally. Good VF, lightly toned. Extremely rare. Ex Leu 65 (5/1996), lot 202. Leu sale attributed this issue to an uncertain mint in Ionia, noting the similarity of the style to the archaic issues of Klazomenai that feature a winged boar forepart. It is also similar in style to various winged boar foreparts on contemporary issues at Mytilene. While agreeing with these comparisons, the weight of this example and its diagonally divided incuse are more consistent with issues of Lesbos than Ionia. The bull is also a common type used at Mytilene, but relatively rare among issues in Ionia. Finally, in addition to using winged boars, Mytilene used winged lions, so the appearance of a winged bull would not be surprising (especially as all motifs are common in eastern/Persian art). So, while the attribution to Mytilene is conjectural, the preponderance of the evidence weighs greater in its favor than than to a mint in Ionia.1 comments Tlos (BC 27-AD 14) Drachm - Augustus882 viewsAugustus, 27 BC-14 AD. AR Drachm (3.45g, 12h). Lycian League issue. Series 6, struck ca 27-20 BC, Tlos and Kragos. Bare head right; Λ-Y across fields / TΛΩ above, KP below, winged caduceus; flanked by two citharas. Superb EF, toned. Ex Bowers and Ruddy FPL (Summer 1981), no. 53. (BC 450-420) Teththiveibi - Stater875 viewsTeththiveibi, Dynast, ca 440-430 BC. AR Stater (9.84g, 12h).

Boar's head left / Protome of a man-headed bull facing left within incuse square. EF. The reverse image is reminiscent of the coins of the Lycian dynast Uvug. The weight standard is hard to define, since the weights are somewhat erratic (along with the von Aulock coin, cf. Peus 372, 2002, lot 361). It might be a 1/6th stater on the light stater (c. 8.0-8.6 g), but actually this standard is known from 460 BC onwards only; cf. O. Morkholm and G. Neumann, Die lykischen Munzlegenden (Gottingen 1978), p. 5 f. Xanthos (BC 450-420) Stater863 viewsUncertain Dynast, ca 450-420 BC. AR Stater (8.39g).

AR Stater (9.76g, 12h), struck circa 380-375 BC. Laureate and draped bust of Perikles facing slightly left / Warrior, nude but for crested Corinthian helmet, fighting to right with shield and sword; Lycian triskeles to lower right; all within incuse square. Virtually as struck, some light striking weakness on nose and chin. Ex Triton VII (1/2004), lot 287. Phaselis (BC 100-80) Drachm803 viewsLycian League, ca 100-80 BC. AR Drachm (2.05g). Laureate head of Apollo right / Kithara with four strings; ΦΑΣΗΛΙ above, crown of Isis to left, long, burning torch to right; within shallow incuse square. Nice toning, EF. Traces of overstriking on obv. From the estate of Dr. R. Alexander, Rochester, NY. Limyra (BC 167-100) Drachm 803 viewsLycian League, 167-100 BC. AR Drachm (2.92g, 12h, 17mm). Laureate head of Apollo right, bow and bowcase behind / ΛΥ-ΚΙ-ΩΝ / Λ-Ι, 2-string lyre, within incuse square. Lightly toned, aEF. Ex Giessener Muenzhandlung Auk. 82 (4/1997), lot 138. Xanthos (BC 425-400) Drachm - Kherei779 viewsKherei, Dynast, ca 425-400 BC. AR Drachm (4.21g). Head of Athena right / Head of Kherei right; Lycian letters 'Arnnahe' to left, 'Kherei" to right, within shallow incuse square. VF/aEF. Rare. (BC 390-370) Aruvatijesi and Zagaba - Obol771 viewsAruvatijesi and Zagaba, Dynasts, ca 390-360 BC. AR Obol (0.70g) Scalp of lion / Triskeles, ethnic around. aEF Xanthos (BC 360) Diobol - Maussollos?770 viewsafter 360 BC. AR Diobol (1.60g). Head of lion right / 8-rayed star; Lycian letters 'ARN' (Arnna = Xanthos) between. VF. Unique? The lion/star motif is usually representative of the Carian Hekatomnid Dynasty. However, the Lycian letters identifying Xanthos is a mystery. The coin may have been struck following the fall of Perikle in the failed Revolt of the Satraps (361 BC), when Lycia lost its independence and Maussolos may have inherited jurisdiction over it. Gagai (BC 430-420) 769 viewsca 430-420 BC. AR (13mm, 2.44g, 1h). Helmeted head of Athena right / Octopus; 'GAKhE' in Lykian, partially inverted, around; all within shallow incuse circle. VF, toned, light porosity, light cleaning marks. Unique. Ex Gorny & Mosch 147 (3/2006), lot 1496; Giessener Münzhandlung 97 (10/1999), lot 424.

Good VF, toned, struck with worn obverse die. (BC 380-360) Perikle - 1/3 Stater767 viewsca 380-360 BC. AR Third Stater (2.90g, 6h). Laureate and draped bust of Perikles facing slightly left / Triskeles, "ΠE'-ΡΕ" in Lycian around; all within shallow incuse circle. Unpublished, but cf. Mildenberg, Mithrapata 24-9 for this obverse type on staters, and 30-1 for third staters with this reverse type. Good VF, toned, porous. Apparently unique. Myra (BC 27-AD 14) Drachm - Augustus764 viewsLykian League. Augustus, 27 BC-14 AD. AR Drachm (19mm, 3.50g, 12h). Struck for the Masicytus district, probably at Myra, circa 27-20 BC.

Helmeted head of Athena right, Lycian letters 'KhE-RE' to left / Head of Kherei right, wearing Persian tiara (bashlyk); Lycian letters 'Pellafe' (retrograde) and 'Kherei' around, within dotted incuse circle.

Ex Fielder Coll.; ex Peus 360 (4/1999), lot 5; Lanz 48 (11/1989), lot 354. (BC 450-420) Teththiveibi - Stater745 viewsTeththiveibi, Dynast, ca 450-420 BC. AR Stater (8.54g, 18mm). Forepart of boar left / Tetraskeles; Lycian letters 'tetthiweibi', within incuse square. Toned, EF. Very rare. Ex Glendining's sale (1961), Lockett part IV, lot 2466; NAC 4 (1991), lot 154 and 7 ( 1994), lot 250. From the von Aulock collection. Oinoanda (BC 200) Didrachm - Series 3745 viewsca 200 BC. AR Didrachm (20mm, 7.58g, 12h). Laureate head of Zeus right; B (erased in die) and scepter behind / Eagle standing right on thunderbolt; Γ to left; to right, sword behind shield. EF, dark find patina. Rare. Winokur Coll. This short series of coinage from Oinoanda was apparently struck in three series, each marked with A, B, or Γ. Originally these letters were thought to represent dates on a local era, but Ashton’s study shows this is far from conclusive, regardless that they were struck sequentially. The obverse die used for this coin was originally used for series 2 didrachms, which have a B on the obverse. (BC 480-460) Uncertain Dynast - Stater743 viewsAfter 480 BC. AR Stater (9.68g). Limyra mint? Goat standing left, Lycian letter above / Triskeles; Lycian letters 'zem', within dotted incuse square. VF. Vary rare. (BC 380-370) Zagaba - Stater743 viewsZagaba, Dynast, ca 380-375 BC.

(BC 380-360) Perikle - AE 12743 viewsPerikle, ca 380-360 BC. AE12 (1.88g). Horned head of Pan left / Lycian letters 'Π^-ΡΕ-ΚΛ' around triskeles. VF, patches of minor roughness. Ex Gutknecht coll. (BC 370) Perikle - 1/6 Stater739 viewsPerikles, ca 380-360 BC. AR Sixth Stater (10mm, 1.18g, 9h). Wedrei mint. Lion right, biting into the hindquarter of a bull crouching left / Head of Athena facing slightly left, wearing crested Corinthian helmet adorned with sphinx on each side; triskeles to left. EF, toned, minor die break on reverse. Many late Lycian dynastic coins bear legends on both sides that had long been assumed to be the names of two dynasts, who ostensibly issued joint coinages. However, more recent evidence has proved that names such as Wedrei, Zagaba, and Zemuri are actually names of cities, which are probably the mints of the respective issues they appear on (cf. A.G. Keen, Dynastic Lycia: A Political History of the Lycians & Their Relations with Foreign Powers, c. 545-362 BC [Leiden: Brill, 1998], pp. 109 and 154–5).

Laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right / Radiate deity wearing Phrygian cap riding right, brandishing club. VF, dark green patina. Rare city. Arycanda only struck coins during the reign of Gordian III, both in his name and in that of his wife, Tranquillina. Of special interest is the fact that this coin shares its obverse die with coins issued for the city of Acalissus. Patara (BC 410-380) Diobol736 viewsca 450-430 BC. AR Diobol (1.11g). Helmeted head of Athena right / Head of Hermes right, wearing winged petasos; caduceus to right, diskeles to left; all within dotted circle incuse. Superb EF, obverse slightly double struck. Ex Triton IV (12/2000), lot 284. Both Tlos and Patara struck coins with similar designs, this coin though lacks any identifying inscription.1 comments Xanthos (BC 425-400) Stater - Kherei735 viewsKherei, Dynast, ca 425-400 BC.
