KINGS OF MACEDON
Time of Philip V and Perseus, 187-168 BC. Drachm (Silver, 18 mm, 3.45 g), on the slightly light, local standard, struck in the name of the Bottiaeans, Pella, in the district of Bottiaea. Macedonian shield ornamented with seven linear crescents around the edge and a pentaskeles of crescents at the center. Rev. ΒΟΤΤΕΑΤΩΝ Stern of galley to right; above, monogram of HP. AMNG III/1, 116 (same dies). Liampi, Schild M46. Jameson 1995 (same reverse die). Kremydi, Late Antigonids, Issue 2b, 20 (O1/R1). Very finely engraved, and probably from dies serving as a prototype for the drachm series. A particularly hard-to-find denomination, much more rare compared to the more common hemidrachms/triobols. Some old scuffs and scrapes, otherwise, good very fine.
From a European collection formed mainly between 1960 and 1970.
