Watch List notes:

MACEDON. Dikaia. Circa 500-465 BC. Hemiobol (Silver, 8 mm, 0.29 g). ΔΙ Bull's protome to left, head facing. Rev. Quadripartite incuse square. Rosen 182. SNG ANS 1006. SNG Tübingen 2648. Attractively toned. Good very fine.


This is a very rare early hemiobol of Dikaia in Chalkidiki, often missattributed as either "uncertain Thraco-Macedonian" or "Lamponeia". The style of the coin definitely points towards a northern Aegean origin; more particularly a mint in the region of the Chalkidiki.
