PONTOS. Kingdom of Pontos. Mithradates VI, 120-63 B.C. AV Stater (8.38 gms), Tomis Mint, ca. 88-86 B.C. NGC Ch AU, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 4/5.
HGC-3.2, 1799; SNG Cop-1094 (Thrace). In the name and types of Lysimachos of Thrace. Obverse: Diademed head of the deified Alexander right, with horn of Ammon; Reverse: Athena seated left on throne, holding crowning Nike; ΘΕΜ to inner left, TO on throne; in exergue, ornate trident left. This wholesome example provides incredibly handsome luster that yields wonderful brilliance and very little evidence of circulation. Despite the high marks for NGC on strike, this example does exhibit some softness of strike--a rather typically encountered aspect for the issue.
