Cyprus, Salamis, Evagoras I (411-373 BC), AR Stater, 10.72g, goat lying right, Cypriot script above and before, EY in exergue, rev. naked Herakles seated right on rock, which is draped with his lion's skin, holding club and horn, Cypriot letters behind and before ( Masson and Amandry, Revue Numismatique 1988, 1 a-c; cf. BMC 55 and 56(Tetrobols)), the coin appears somewhat base, but there are clear signs of silver showing through deposit. The goat would seem to be the obverse type. Possibly a contemporary plated forgery, about very fine and very rare.

Estimate: £200.00 - £300.00
