    red_spork Triumvir monetalis

    US-only. Shipping is $3 for USPS first-class in a bubble mailer. Priority shipping, registered mail, etc. can be done at cost if you prefer. All coins guaranteed authentic.


    1. SOLD A tiny obol of Miletus in Ionia, only 10mm in diameter and a little over a gram. A great budget example of a coin that's much older than most you'll see and the oldest I ever owned: SOLD

    Ionia, Miletos. 525-494 B.C. AR obol (10.1 mm, 1.11 g, 1 h). Forepart of lion right, head left / Stellate and floral design within incuse square. SNG Cop 944; SNG von Aulock 2080; SNG Kayhan 476 SOLD



    2. SOLD A nice tiny example of a Ptolemaic Zeus/Eagle type, only 12mm in diameter! It'll go great next to a nice big octobol or drachm. It's hard to find a tiny Chalkous like this in this condition and I hate to let it go, but it's time someone else adopted it. Also note that it has great provenance: Ex. JP Righetti collection with tag. SOLD
    840-jpr43-combined.jpg
    Ptolemy III, Euergetes, 246-222 BC AE Chalkous(12.0mm, 2.0g). Diademed head of Zeus-Ammon right/ΠΤΟΛΣΜΑΙΟΥ ΒΑΣΙΛΣΩΣ Eagle standing left on thunderbolt, trident left. Ex. J. P. Righetti Collection #43. Svoronos 840 SOLD


    3. A nice example from Korykos in Cilicia. Not only is it a nice example of the type, it is the SNG Levante plate coin. It does have a few scratches but otherwise is a very nice example of the type. It previously sold in CNG 66, 5/19/2004 for $84 + fees but I'll sell it for just $86 before shipping.
    Korykos.jpg
    Cilicia, Korykos. Circa 1st century BC. Æ22mm(6.30 gm). Turreted head of Tyche right; ΔΙ behind / Hermes standing left, holding phiale and caduceus. ΚΩΡΥΚΙΩΤΩΝ to right. SNG Levante 791 (this coin); cf. SNG France 1075; cf. SNG von Aulock 5679.



    4. ON RESERVEThis small lot of coins, will come unidentified unless you ask for IDs in which case I'll most certainly provide what I have(all but 1 I have fully ID'd but it has a tentative ID). It would make a great lot for anyone learning to ID these things: ON RESERVE
