Watch List notes:

Macedonian Tribes. Derrones. c. 480-465 BC. Dodecadrachm, 30.39g Obv: Ox cart with basket-weave sides driven right by bearded man with whip, Corinthian helmet above, aphlaston under ox. Rx: Triskeles of human legs. Unpublished. This is a remarkable coin for several reasons. The large incuse air bubbles on the reverse show that during the minting process the flans were created by pouring molten metal onto a smooth surface. While the obverse is slightly doublestruck, it shows mint luster which is seldom seen on dodecadrachms. Mint State
