CARIA. Alabanda. Ca. 197-188 BC. AR drachm (19mm, 4.22 gm, 12h). NGC Choice XF 5/5 - 2/5, brushed Symmacheos, magistrate. Laureate head of Apollo left / ΑΝΤΙΟΧΕΩΝ / ΣYMMAXOΣ, Pegasus taking flight right. SNG von Aulock 2380 var. (tetradrachm, Pegasus left). The city of Alabanda produced coinage with the name Antiochia until after the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC. Isocrates was the last magistrate to issue coins under the city name of Antiochia and the first for Alabanda. The Alabanda issues are all very rare and the example by Isocrates was formerly known by a single tetradrachm in the Latakia Hoard of 1759.
