CARIA. Pixodaros. AR Didrachm (6.72 gms), Halikarnassos Mint, ca. 341/0-336/5 B.C. NGC AU, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 2/5.
SNG Kayhan-891; SNG Cop-597. Obverse: Laurate head of Apollo facing slightly right; Reverse: Zeus standing right, holding double axe and lotus-tipped scepter. Despite the somewhat low surface grade, the present specimen is quite beautiful, with a strong strike that has left the head of Apollo rather detailed and attractive. The surface grade appears to originate from the few small marks on the cheek and surfaces that are not entirely lustrous. Even so, this well detailed example is certain to capture many bids on the strength of its allure.
Estimate: $600.00- $900.00
