IONIA. Phokaia. Pseudo-autonomous, 1st-2nd centuries AD. (Bronze, 15 mm, 2.79 g, 7 h). Draped bust of Apollo to right; branch to right. Rev. ΦΩKAIΩN Kybele holding patera and tympanon. SNG Copenhagen 1046. SNG Munich 832. Well centered, fine green patina; a rarely encountered type. Very fine.
The flan of the example in Copenhagen is significantly larger and gives the impression that it is a different denomination. Nevertheless that coin weights 3.07, and is slightly heavier than the present example. Also, the diameter of the dies printed on the flans is the same in both coins.
