SKYTHIA. Geto-Dacians. Koson. AV Stater, Mid 1st Century B.C. ICG MS-62.
RPC-1701A; HGC-3.2, 2049. Obverse: Roman consul accompanied by two lictors advancing left; monogram to left; Reverse: Eagle, holding wreath, standing left on scepter. Though previously attributed to a Thracian king by the name of Koson and believed to allude to the denarius issued by M. Junius Brutus, more recent scholarship points toward an attribution to the Geto-Dacians, not Thrace, and somewhat before the referenced issue of Brutus. Lustrous and fairly boldly struck.
Estimate: $700.00- $900.00
