Watch List notes:

Elis, Olympia. Stater; Elis, Olympia; 276-260 BC, 126th-130th Olympiad, Stater, 12.13g. Seltman-dies CV/?a (new combination), Jameson-1245 (same rev. die), BCD-211 (same rev. die). Obv: Laureate head of Zeus r. Rx: Eagle standing r., F-A across upper field, wreath in l. field, thunderbolt in r. Ex Triton XXIII, 14 January 2020, lot 277. Ex Prospero Collection, New York Sale XVII, 4 January 2012, lot 396. Very scarce obverse die, apparently the third extant example. Seltman cites coins bearing the CV obverse in Vienna and Brussels, neither paired with the ζα reverse. We are unaware of other examples, either in published collections or in auctions appearing subsequent to Seltman's study. (The Prospero catalogue erroneously describes this coin as a die match for Jameson-1245; only the reverse is in fact a match).This is a beautiful Olympic stater struck in high relief. This die combination is not published in Seltman. High relief.. aEF
