Head of Helios left within solar disk / Rose with bud to each side; M-E flanking. VF, dark find patina. Rare. While some of these “solar disk” drachms are attributable to Rhodes, most of the issues have long been recognized as being psudo-Rhodian issues from mints in Caria. The ME issues had originally been assigned to Megiste, but R. Ashton convincingly argues against this speculative attribution (cf. R.

Laureate head right / [ЄΠI]/ ΠANCA/ ΠPЄBЄYTOY in three lines. VF, brown patina, areas of flat strike, die break on reverse. Apparently unique. Ex Wagner Coll. A logical guess for the place of minting would be Caesarea, the principal mint in the region, where similar coins carrying this legend were struck under Titus. The authors of RPC reject this attribution, however, based on the absence of a date and the metal composition. Uncertain (BC 440-390) Star - Hemiobol 1363 views5th century BC.

Unpublished in the standard references. gVF, toned. Rare. Although attributed to Magnesia in previous auction appearances, the known types (head of eagle / wheel) are not specific enough to assert such an attribution. Uncertain (BC 440-390) Star - Tetartemorion314 views5th century BC. AR Tetartemorion (0.1g, 6mm). Eagle standing left / Stellate pattern within incuse square. gVF. Uncertain (BC 350-300) Drachm - Memnon314 viewsCaria Uncertain, ca 360-340 BC. AR Drachm (13mm, 3.14g). Bare head of Helios left, within solar disc / M-E, rose with bud to each side. gVF. Very rare.

Persian king in kneeling-running stance right, quiver over shoulder, holding dagger in right hand, bow in left / Incuse patterned rectagonal punch. Near VF. Extremely rare issue without control marks, only the BM and Sunrise pieces published. Carradice lists this issue among late double darics attributed as Alexandrine issues. But Nicolet-Pierre, in her article on Alexandrine gold and silver at Babylon, does not mention any Type IV late double darics, only pieces similar to Type III, and all include control marks. This coin, like the Sunrise and BMC examples, shows no sign of control marks of Alexandrine coinage, and the style is closer to darics that Carradice gives to Artaxerxes II to Darios III. Thus, it is possible that this was a very late, if not the last, Achaemenid issue, just prior to the defeat of Darios III. It was probably struck at the same Babylonian mint that later issued double darics under Alexander, and may have provided coinage to the Persian king in Babylonia, as his western mints were no longer under his control. Regardless, it is from the first coinage struck in Babylon. Persian Kings (BC 420-375) Daric314 viewsXerxes II to Artaxerxes II, ca 420-375 BC.
