Phrygia, Apameia Æ 17mm. Circa 2nd-1st century BC. Laureate male head (Augustus?) to right / AΠAMEΩN between two flutes; all within oak wreath. RPC I 3124 (tentatively listed as Augustus); SNG Copenhagen 206 (listed as Augustus); SNG von Aulock 3485 (same). 4.92g, 17mm, 4h.
Very Fine.
From a private European collection.
Although RPC includes this very rare type in its catalogue, it is noted that the identification of the portrait as Augustus is 'extremely uncertain' and that the date, being dependant on this identification, is also questionable. It could be that the coin is an earlier issue, as it is similar in arrangement to a type with the Pilei of the Dioskouroi flanking the ethnic in a wreath (cf. SNG von Aulock 3465 and SNG Copenhagen 160).
