Lanz 125, lot 328 = Gorny & Mosch 151, lot 190; otherwise unpublished. See also BMFA Supp. 188 for a drachm from this same issue. VF, toned, patches of find patina. Extremely rare, the second known tetradrachm with this magistrate "for the third time".


The previous lot is a tetradrachm also in the name of Diotrephes, and is likely an issue from the same individual named here, but struck during his first iteration as a magistrate.
