MACEDON. Aige in Pallene. Circa 450 BC. Hemiobol (Silver, 7 mm, 0.32 g). Goat's head to right. Rev. Irregular incuse square. Cf. AMNG p. 138, 24, Imhoof-Blumer, Monnaies Grecques, p. 110, 180 and SNG Oxford 2232 (all as obols). See also the very similar piece that appeared as lot 633 of Obolos 16 in 2020. Very rare. With a rather rude looking goat's head. Dark patina as found. Very fine.
From the "Collection sans Pareille" of Ancient Greek Fractions.


Traditionally ascribed to Aigai ("Aegae") in Macedonia, the attribution of coins like this are now rather in flux, but it seems best to attribute them to Aige, as here.
