KINGS of SKYTHIA. Skyles. Circa 465-447/5 BC. Æ (39mm, 34.27 g). Nikonion mint. Owl standing left, head facing / Wheel with four spokes, each with cross-member. Cf. Peykov G0010 (for type); cf. Anokhin 568–9 (for type); HGC 3, –. Near VF, green-brown patina, large area broken off. Extremely rare, possibly unique in this denomination.


The difference in size and weight of Anokhin 568 and 569 suggests that there could be an issue between 569 and 570, and the present piece appears to be that intermediate-sized issue.
