Syria, Cyrrhestica. Bambyke-Manbog. Abyaty. Silver Shekel (Didrachm) (8.63 g), ca. 342-331 BC. HD'D W'TH (Aramaic), draped bust of goddess with wild hair facing, wearing necklace; in right field, circle. Reverse: 'BYTY (Aramaic) above, the Great King and driver in biga of mules right; c/m: Aramaic l. Mildenberg 1; Seyrig 4; Price 16-7; HGC 9, 1344. Extremely Rare, and one of the finest known. As struck. Lustrous. Superb Extremely Fine.
The city of Bambyke-Manbog (later known as Hierapolis), was a sacerdotal city dedicated to the worship of Atargatis and Hadad located near the Euphrates in Mesopotamia. Not only did it serve as a site of pilgrimage with an elaborate cult center, it also occupied a position in the center of a network of trade routes connecting Apamea with Edessa and Thapsacus with Samosata. This fortunate circumstance led to the creation of a monetary economy by the mid 4th century BC, and the city's location between East and West resulted in a coalescence of eastern and western influences on the coinage. On this coin the reverse shows the Persian Great King (Artaxerxes III Ochus?) in a cart drawn by two mules, reflecting the style of the Phoenician city of Sidon, while the obverse depicts the bust of an unidentified female (probably Atargatis) in the manner of Kimon of Syracuse.

Phoenicia, Arados. Uncertain king. Silver Stater (10.07 g), ca. 380-351/0 BC. Laureate head of marine deity right. Reverse: Galley right; waves below; all within dotted border within incuse square. Cf. Betlyon 10; cf. HGC 10, 29 corr. Boldly struck and unusually well centered. Rarely seen this choice. Extremely Fine.
The reverse exhibits an unusual style for one of these. The letters are partly nonsensical, the shape of the ship is peculiar, and the waves are much longer and more fluid than the typical zig-zag pattern of the waves normally seen on this type. The obverse, however, is of completely normal style. This reverse die used to strike this coin was perhaps the work of an apprentice engraver of little skill, who was certainly illiterate. Regardless, a most interesting example of this popular coinage that deserves further research.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
