CARIA. Antioch ad Maeandrum. Circa 90/89-65/60 BC. Tetradrachm (Silver, 25 mm, 16.29 g, 12 h), Eunikos, magistrate. Laureate head of Zeus to right. Rev. ANTIOXEΩN / ΤΩΝ ΠΡΟΣ ΤΩ // MAIANΔΡΩ / EYNIKOΣ Zebu bull standing left; to left, small winged Nemesis standing right, drawing fold of drapery with her right hand; all within laurel wreath. Thonemann (forthcoming) Group C, 17.d (O18/R33 (recut), this coin). A unique variety of an extremely rare type. The reverse struck from a somewhat worn die, otherwise, about extremely fine.
From a Swiss collection, ex Leu 4, 25 May 2019, 280.
What makes this coin especially interesting is the fact that it was struck from a recut reverse die, with the original EYNIKOΣ behind the back of the bull being erased and moved to the exergue!
