| Lot description: MYSIA, Kyzikos. Circa 450-330 BC. EL Hekte – Sixth Stater (10mm, 2.65 g). Head of the hunter Aktaion left, with stag's horn above forehead; below, tunny left / Quadripartite incuse square. Von Fritze I 141; cf. Boston MFA 1510 = Warren 1442 (stater); SNG BN 290. Light earthen deposits. VF. Very rare. From the Dr. Adrian Carr Collection. Ex Leu Numismatik Web Auction 11 (23 February 2020), lot 815. Aktaion was a famous hunter who learned his skills from the centaur Chiron. One day he accidentally came upon Artemis bathing: she was so angered by him seeing her naked that she transformed him into a stag and he was set upon and torn to pieces by his own hunting dogs. Here we see the start of the transformation process, with the horn just coming out of his head. This portrait was also used on roughly contemporary gold staters at the mint of Lampsakos (cf. SNG BN 1145). Estimate: 500 USD |  |
