Diademed head of the Amazon Kyme right / Horse standing right, a wreath around, a vase with one handle below; MHTROFANHS (magistrate ca. 160-140 BC) below, KYMAIΩN beside to right. SNG Cop 104 (this magistrate). Extremely Fine; fine style; high relief, not fully struck up on top of head; attractive old toning, with multihued highlights in devices and fresh underlying surfaces. In an NGC XF slab (evident in photo; we will remove if the buyer wishes).See ANS Museum Notes 27 for an extensive discussion of the background of this beautiful series as well as an illustrated study of dies and magistrate progressions. Metrophanes was the first chronologically. The dies on this piece are not photographed. This piece is an example of a better style, both in the lengthened profile on the obverse and the horse with the chin down and the chest thrust forward on the reverse-an "active" rather than the more common "static" depiction.
