| Lot description: KINGS of MACEDON. Alexander III 'the Great'. 336-323 BC. AV Stater (19.5mm, 8.60 g, 6h). Tyre mint. Struck under Menes. Dated RY 23 of 'Ozmilk (327/6 BC). Head of Athena right, wearing helmet decorated with griffin / Nike standing left, holding wreath and cradling stylis; Phoenician A below right wing; below left wing, 'K (in Phoenician [= 'Ozmilk]) above |||= (Phoenician date [23]). Price 3257 (Ake; same obv. die as illustration); Newell, Dated 27, obv. die K corr. (date); ANS inv. 1956.183.11 corr. (date; same obv. die). Light scratches and indications of undertype on reverse. Near EF. Newell, Dated 27 is referenced by Price 3270, but that is an erroneous entry based off of Newell's assumption that the date on the coins he inspected was year 27 (he noted that the date on all of the coins he saw was off the flan). Since Newell's die study, however, several staters using his obverse die K have appeared, including the BM coin that Price illustrates for his no. 3257, clearly showing the date to be year 23. As such, Newell, Dated 27 actually corresponds to Price 3257, which previously had no reference to Newell's die study. Estimate: 3000 USD |  |
