Kings of Thrace, Seuthes III Æ19. Circa 323-316 BC. Laureate head of Seuthes right / Horseman riding right, ΣEYΘOY above, star below. Peter p. 182; Topalov 116; Dimitrov group B; SNG Copenhagen 1073. 6.53g, 19mm, 4h.
Very Fine. Rare.
The portraits on the bronze issues of Seuthes III vary considerably in quality of style, and range from crude, hook-nosed caricatures, to the present specimen that was clearly engraved by an artist of significantly greater talent than those others who also produced dies for the Odrysian kingdom of Thrace.
This portrait bears considerable resemblance to the incredible bronze head of Seuthes III found during the excavation of his tomb.
