Thraco-Macedonian Region, Berge AR Stater. Circa 525-480 BC. Ithyphallic satyr standing to right, grasping right wrist of nymph fleeing to right with right hand and touching her chin with left; pellets above, [to left], and [to right] / Quadripartite incuse square divided diagonally. Smith Group 5; Peykov A0020; AMNG III, 14, pl. XIV, 29 ('Lete'); SNG ANS 956 ('Lete'); Svoronos 16; Traité I, 1569 ('Lete'); Psoma pl. 4, 21 (Berge); HGC 3, 531 ("Lete"). 9.67g, 21mm.
Very Fine; struck from a worn obv. die.
Acquired from Paul-Francis Jacquier.
It has been persuasively argued by S. Psoma that the coinage previously attributed to Lete and/or Siris is probably from Berge (cf. S. Psoma, 'The "Lete" Coinage Reconsidered' in Agoranomia. Studies in Money and Exchange Presented to John H. Kroll, (2006) pp. 61-85).
