Zecca incerta del Levante: obolo di Alessandro non riportato dal Price (CNG 345)

KINGS of MACEDON. Alexander III ‘the Great’. 336-323 BC. AR Obol (10mm, 0.66 g, 6h). Uncertain mint in the Levant. Struck circa 325-323 BC. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; uncertain control marks. VF, toned, porous, obverse off center.

Although the controls are unclear, the style of this issue is consistent with the many fractional issues from the various Levantine mints in the final years of Alexander’s reign.

Zecca incerta dell’Est: obolo di Alessandro connesso al Price 3871 di Susa (CNG 286)

KINGS of MACEDON. Alexander III ‘the Great’. 336-323 BC. AR Obol (9mm, 0.50 g, 12h). Uncertain eastern mint. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; in left field, forepart of Pegasus left; P below throne. Price 3871; SC 194. VF, lightly toned, minor porosity, reverse die break. Very rare, perhaps the second known.

From the Peter Lee Collection.

Price records an obol from Susa (3871) with a P below the throne, but that coin is listed as having an “anchor?” in the left field. Evidently Hersh, who is listed as the source, could not positively identify the symbol either. An examination of the BM coin (here), while not die linked, appears to be the same type.

The authors of SC note in their entry for the type: “Very doubtful attribution; probably not Susian, and perhaps not even Seleucid.”

286, Lot: 46. Estimate $100. Sold for $160.

Zecca incerta dell’Asia Minore: emissione civica sul modello degli oboli di Alessandro (CNG 302)

ASIA MINOR, Uncertain. 3rd century BC. AR Obol (10mm, 0.57 g, 6h). Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Monogram between arrowhead and bow. MG p. 467, 47; CNG 70, lot 366. VF, toned, porous. Very rare.

In the third century BC, a number of cities in northern Asia Minor (e.g. Erythrai) and along the Black Sea coast of Thrace (e.g. Kallatis), issued civic coinage based on the coinage of Alexander III of Macedon. While it is uncertain whether this is a civic or dynastic issue, find spots of previous examples supports an attribution to northern Asia Minor contemporary to the Alexander-derived coinages.

Zecca incerta della Tracia o dell’Asia Minore: obolo di Lisimaco (CNG 345)

Clarifying an Enigmatic Issue

KINGS of MACEDON. temp. Philip III – Lysimachos. Circa 323-280 BC. AR Obol (8mm, 0.56 g, 1h). Uncertain mint in Thrace or Asia Minor. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; in left field, two horse foreparts conjoined at their truncation; P below throne. Price 3871 corr. (not Susa). VF, toned, light porosity. Extremely rare.

From the Patrick H. James Collection.

The Hersh coin cited by Price for his 3871 is now in the BM: 2002,0101.953. That coin is poorly struck, but one can see the right side horse. This confirms that it is not an issue of Susa, and thus SC 194 ("attribution doubtful [possibly barbarous]") is correct in suspecting that the issue is not Seleukid. This obol issue is not otherwise known, but the style is consistent with Price 3064 (and probably also 3065), which are tetradrachms with this same left field control mark. This control mark was used on civic issues of Perinthos, which led Thompson (Newell) to assign coins of Lysimachos with it to this mint, though hesitatingly. In her study on the mint of Perinthos, Schönert-Geiss notes that it the city had a mint under Alexander and Lysimachos (p. 4), and that these tetradrachm issues were expressly from that mint, as this symbol was representative of Perinthos (p. 14). No other cities seems to have used this particular symbol as a badge. Unfortunately, there is little hoard evidence to support an attribution to any mint at this time, but Price’s placement of these under Southern Asia Minor is speculative.
