MACEDON. Paeonia. Kingdom of Paeonia. Patraos, ca. 335-315 B.C. AR Tetradrachm (13.08 gms), Astibos or Damastion Mint. NGC Ch EF, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 5/5.
HGC-3.1, 148. Obverse: Laureate head of Apollo right; Reverse: Warrior on horse rearing right, spearing enemy warrior who defends with shield and spear. Though the type is often crudely produced, the present example provides a relatively attractive strike and much in the way of impressive details. Nicely centered and attractively toned, this specimen is a lovely representative, and certainly worthy of a strong bid from the specialist.
Estimate: $750 - $1250
