| Lot description: CYPRUS, Uncertain. 4th century BC. Æ (9mm, 0.98 g, 7h). Forepart of lion standing right, licking foreleg / Two geese standing left, one feeding, the other with head raised. Amandry, Amathonte –; Zapiti & Michaelidou –; Tziambazis Supp. 6 (Amathos). . Very rare. This very rare issue was attributed to Amathos by Tziambazis, but he described the obverse of the sole specimen known to him as a curled lion. However, the obverse type is actually a lion forepart right that is licking its foreleg, which is the same type found on issues of Marion under Sasmas (cf. Zapiti & Michaelidou 1–3). Sasmas, though, ruled circa 470-450 BC, which is too early for such a bronze issue, so the similarity of the type may be coincidental. Estimate: 100 USD |  |

| Lot description: IONIA, Magnesia ad Maeandrum(?). Circa 459-450 BC. AR Trihemiobol(?) (12.5mm, 0.89 g, 1h). Attic standard. Male figure standing facing, head left, extending right arm to a horse standing facing, head right / Eagle flying right within shallow incuse square. CNG 72, lot 733 corr. (denomination); cf. Leu Numismatik Web Auction 4, lot 269 (hemidrachm); cf. NAC 125, lot 326 (hemidrachm); cf. Roma E-Sale 79, lot 222 (tetrobol); cf. Savoca 20, lot 149 (diobol). Toned, flan crack, slight granularity, a little die rust on obverse. VF. Extremely rare series, with this being one of two trihemiobols known. Ex Leu Numismatik Web Auction 8 (29 June 2019), lot 363. The CNG 72 piece was apparently the first example of this series to appear, and came on the market alongside issues of Themistokles and his son, Archepolis, from Magnesia. While originally thought to possibly be an issue of one of these rulers, the absence of their name on these issues makes such an attribution unlikely. On the other hand, the appearance of these issues together, and the consistency of their fabric and types suggests they are all from the same mint, and were struck in temporal proximity. Estimate: 250 USD |  |
