GC Le monete più attraenti di Alessandro Magno

[apollonia]

Dell’emiobolo P174 è noto l’obolo corrispondente non pubblicato dal Price (VAuctions 32).

Lot 6.  KINGS of MACEDON. Philip III. 323-317 BC. AR Obol (9mm - 0.86 g). Sidon mint. Dated CY 14 (320/19 BC). Head of Herakles right, wearing lion's skin headdress / Zeus seated left, holding eagle in right hand, scepter in left; Ξ in left field, ΣI below throne. Price -; Müller -. Good VF/VF, toned., reverse strike a bit weak but controls clear Attractive style obverse.
Price doesn't record any obols for Philip III from Sidon, but there is a hemiobol from this same year (Price P174). The controls on this coin though are a bit unusual. It's possible that instead of ΣI below the throne there's a EI below the throne, in that case it's apparently unpublished.

Emiobolo di Samaria imitazione degli emioboli di Alessandro Magno (CNG 69).

SAMARIA. After 333 BCE. AR Hemiobol (0.29 gm, 7h). Imitating Alexander the Great. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion's skin / Bow-in-bowcase and club; wreath below. Meshorer & Qedar -. VF, toned. ($200)

M&Q place the termination of Samarian coinage at the time of the conquest of Palestine by Alexander. However, recent finds of Samarian coins have included crude imitations of silver fractions of the type of Alexander. It is possible that coinage did continue at Samaria for a few years after the conquest, perhaps up to the time of Ptolemy I.

Da questa panoramica sugli emioboli del Grande risulta che dev’essere rettificata l’attribuzione assegnata dalla Gorny & Mosch al mio emiobolo qui riproposto

Infatti l’esemplare Price 4012 presenta la scritta ALEXANDROY ed è senza simboli (v. post # 4108).

L’assenza del nome del sovrano e la stella come simbolo sul rovescio, nel campo a sinistra in questa orientazione, ma nel campo in basso se ruotato di 90° in senso antiorario (v. post # 4121), classificano il mio emiobolo come variante del Price 4015, che presenta come simbolo un’ape invece della stella (v. post # 4107).
