CARIA. Islands off Caria. Rhodes. AR Drachm, ca. 88-84 B.C. NGC AU.
HGC-6, 1461. 'Plinthophoric' coinage. Nikephoros, magistrate. Obverse: Radiate head of Helios right; Reverse: Rose with bud to right; to left, hand holding grain ear left; all within incuse square. This nice example displays a sharp strike and only light evidence of handling on the devices. Quite attractive overall, despite the noted flan crack.
Estimate: $75 - $150
