    That coin is of exceptional quality and much rarer then any of the gold or electrum Staters. The coinage tells a story of a Kingdom going downhill from the time of Mithradates VI 120-66BC forward to Ininthimeos. Gold content went from 99.9% to 5% during the reign of Cotys III/Severus Alexander 222-35AD. I was going to bid on it/ but glad I did not. :)
