CYPRUS. Salamis. Nikokles, ca. 374-361 B.C. AV 1/12 Stater (0.71 gms). NGC Ch AU★, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 4/5.
SNG Cop-51; BMC-62-3. Obverse: Draped bust of Aphrodite left, wearing ornamented stephanos; Reverse: Helmeted head of Athena right. Seemingly never encountered this attractive, the present specimen--though diminutive--offers a pleasing strike with tremendous beauty and little actual wear. Far superior than that which is generally encountered for this fairly RARE type.
Estimate: $4000 - $6000
