Choice very fine. Estimate $1,250UP One ancient tradition held that king Pheidon of Argos was the first Greek ruler to strike coins on Aegina, presumably because the island city was already a maritime trading powerhouse even before coined money was introduced to Greece proper. The coinage of Aegina became a tool for the island's international trade and its types became so well recognized that the coins were frequently just referred to as "turtles." Although Aegina was conquered by Athens in 456 BC and its inhabitants expelled on the eve of the of the Peloponnesian War in 431, thereby ending production of the turtles, the Aeginetic weight standard of ca. 12.1 g to the didrachm stater lived on as the preferred standard for many civic coinages of the Peloponnesos and Northern Greece. Try as they might, even the Athenians could not fully erase the old influence of Aegina. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $1,357

Lot 1070		Sikyonia, Sikyon. Silver Stater (12.15 g), ca. 335-330 BC. ΣE below, chimaera prowling left; above, wreath. Rev. Dove flying left; before, I; all within wreath. (BCD Peloponnesos 219; SNG Copenhagen -). Lustrous. Nearly Mint state. Estimate $3,000UP Although they are perhaps sometimes underestimated, the staters of Sikyon in the fourth century BC were some of the most important coins struck in the Peloponnesos. Without them, the Spartans could not have financed the conflicts with Athens leading up to and during the great Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC). The Spartans famously refused to strike any coinage of their own during the Classical period except for iron coins that were useless outside of Lakedaimon and thus Sikyon became a proxy mint for Sparta and the Peloponnesian League. Aigina with its widely recognized turtles was lost as a pro-Spartan mint when the Athenians expelled the Aiginetans from their island in 431 BC. While the dove refers to the local cult of Aphrodite, it remains unclear why the chimaera was chosen as the main obverse type for Sikyonian staters. It has been variously (and unconvincingly) suggested that the legend of Bellerophon (a Corinthian hero) slaying the beast in Lycia was somehow transferred to Sikyon or that the goat (aigos) head of the beast referred to Aigialeia, an old name of Sikyon.

Lot 1077		Troas, Skepsis. Silver Drachm (3.54 g), 5th century BC. Σ-KH-ΨI-ON, forepart of Pegasos right. Rev. Palm tree in square linear and pelleted borders, all within shallow incuse square. (SNG Ashmolean -; SNG von Aulock 7643; SNG Copenhagen 470; Dewing 2223 (same dies)). Rare. Toned. Extremely fine. Estimate $1,200UP Ex Triton XVII (6 January 2014), 275. Skepsis was originally an Aiolic city in Troas, but after 494 BC the city was refounded by Ionian Milesians who had probably fled the Persian sack of Miletos. Considering the involvement of Milesian settlers who would have likely brought the cult of Apollo with them, it is tempting to suggest that the enigmatic palm tree on the reverse of this Skepsian coin may represent the sacred tree under which Leto gave birth to Apollo and Artemis.

Lot 1078		Lesbos, Unattributed early mint. BI Stater (11.00 g), 5th century BC. Persic standard. Olive tree between confronted cow heads. Rev. Small incuse square punch. (SNG von Aulock 1682; SNG Copenhagen 285; HGC 6, 1076). Darkly toned. Very fine. Estimate $1,900UP The obverse type of this coin is perhaps the most celebrated and iconic of the early billon coinage series of Lesbos. The confronted profile cow heads, when read as a composite image give the impression that a single facing head is depicted. This sort of type has been described as an "elusive motif" and seems more familiar from artistic trends of the twentieth century than from the Archaic period. In terms of design composition, this type was far ahead of its time. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $2,242

Silenos was the companion and tutSilenos was the companion and tutor of the Greek wine-god Dionysos. He was known for having the ears and tail of a horse, and for his prodigious consumption of wine. While intoxicated - virtually his natural state according to the Greek mythographers - he possessed special wisdom and the power of prophecy. It was said that he once advised King Midas of Phrygia that "the best thing for a man is not to be born, and if already born, to die as soon as possible." Perhaps, then, it should come as no shock that Silenos was driven to excessive drink; after all, he was one who always found his glass half empty. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $4,248

Well struck and bold. Choice very fine. Estimate $5,000UP Ex CNG 99 (13 May 2015), lot 269. Like several other early anepigraphic staters featuring a pair of dolphins, this Extremely rare and attractive archaic coin has often been attributed to the obscure city of Poseidion on the island of Karpathos. However, more recent discoveries have shown that this attribution was incorrect and have raised doubts that the city ever even existed! Until new information becomes available we must content ourselves with the present broad attribution to the environs of Caria based on similarities between the reverse punches on this coin and those found on coins from the Carian island of Rhodos.
