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
