Ex Künker 124, 16 March 2007, 8030.

In the Greek cultural world, sports was considered a most noble pastime, and wrestling was a particularly beloved discipline. The two main ways to beat one's opponent were to grab and lift him by the waist, or to grab his wrist to pull him off-balance, as shown on the obverse of this wonderful stater. The reverse, on the other hand, shows one of the most feared military weapons of the ancient world: the sling. Able to crush bone and penetrate armor, skilled slingers were a menace on the battlefield and therefore coveted mercenaries - a fact the Aspendians understood and celebrated.

Estimate: 3500 CHF
