| Lot description: PAMPHYLIA. Side. Circa 460-430 BC. Stater (Silver, 20 mm, 10.91 g, 5 h). Pomegranate overlaid by a pomegranate branch. Rev. Beardless head to right, wearing olive (?) wreath; all within incuse square. SNG Paris 624 var. (hemistater). SNG von Aulock 4761 (same dies). Extremely rare and intriguing. Traces of overstriking, otherwise, very fine. From a European collection, formed before 2005. Not only is this piece remarkable for the mysterious wreathed head on the reverse that stands in the place of the usual head of Athena on Sidetan staters, it also appears to have been overstruck on a contemporary stater of Aspendos. The undertype of what appears to be a triskeles of human legs within an incuse square can be seen on the obverse. For Aspendian issues with this reverse type, see SNG Paris 1-13. Starting price: 100 CHF |  |
