BITHYNIA. Kalchedon. AV Stater, ca. 260-220 B.C. ANACS AU 55.
Pr-914; Muller-817. Struck in the name and types of Alexander III "the Great" of Macedon. Obverse: Helmeted head of Athena right; Reverse: Nike standing left extending wreath and holding stylis; monograms in left field and below left wing. A gorgeous example of this rather SCARCE civic issue modeled after Alexander's standard gold type. Each side flaunts a well-centered, sharply defined strike with plentiful luster in the surrounding fields. Although the slab prevents an inspection of the edges, no major marks or defects are visible on either side.

Estimate: $3000.00 - $5000.00
