The ‘Perseus’ emissions are known for denominations of stater through 1/96th. Most examples do not capture the whole ‘scene’ - commonly either the head of Perseus or Medusa being off the flan. This coin is possibly the second best published example capturing the major features [For an example that is even sharper in its detail, see Gemini IX (1/2012) lot 105].

Stratonikeia (BC 30-0) Drachm - Autonomous736 viewslate 1st cent BC. AR Drachm (18mm, 3.69g, 12h). Zopuros, magistrate.

Good VF, attractive dark iridescent toning. Extremely rare, one of two known (the other in the Vatican collection cited by Imhoof-Blumer).
The traditional view of this denomination as a drachm has been challenged by Meadows, who believes that during this period at Stratonikeia their drachm was roughly equal to the Roman quinarius (1.8g). As such, he labels this type as a didrachm, but we have retained traditional attribution for clarity.
