AEOLIS. Myrina. AR Tetradrachm (15.06 gms), ca. 160-143 B.C. NGC Ch EF, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 2/5. Edge Marks.

Sacks Issue-29; SNG Cop-222; BMC-7. Stephanophoric type. Obverse: Laureate head of Apollo right; Reverse: Apollo standing right, holding phiale and laurel branch; monogram to left, omphalos and amphora at feet; all within laurel wreath. Struck on a rather broad flan as is the case for these types, this specimen yields an incredibly deep cabinet tone. A few scattered marks are noted, but blend in quite seamlessly.

From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection. Ex: Hermitage Museum Collection (Schlessinger 13 - 2/1935) Lot # 1211.
