Watch List notes:

KINGS OF BOSPOROS. Leukon II, circa 240-220 BC. Diobol (Silver, 11 mm, 0.96 g), Pantikapaion, struck under the magistrate Diog.... Head of Zeus to right. Rev. ΔIOC Sword in sheath and Galatian shield. Apparently unpublished. Cf. Roma e61, (2019), 213 for an obol bearing the same types. Very fine.


The attribution of this coin to Leukon II, is based exclusively in the stylistically and iconographic similarities with the bronze coins issued by this ruler, as MacDonald, 101 and Anokhin 136.
