MACEDON. Kingdom of Macedon. Perseus, 179-168 B.C. AR Drachm (2.71 gms), Uncertain Mint in Thessaly; Hermias, magistrate, ca. 171/0 B.C. NGC MS, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 4/5. Flan Flaw.
SNG Keckman-795. Obverse: Head of Helios facing slightly right; Reverse: Rose. An engaging and ever-popular issue used to pay Rhodian mercenaries, this shimmering Mint State specimen seemingly possesses all of the luster that it contained on the day at which it left the celator's strike. Only the characteristic die flaw on one of the eyes of Helios and the minor flan flaw in the reverse field likely keep this enchanting example from perfect designations.
Estimate: $600 - $900
