MACEDON, Amphipolis mint, probably under Philip VI Andriskos, circa 149-148 BC. SNG Cop 1294; HGC 3.1, 331 (S). O: Diademed head of Poseidon right, trident over shoulder. R: MAKE-ΔONΩN, club; monograms below left and right; all within oak wreath.</p><p>Notes: HGC considers these “probably” struck under the pretender Philip VI Andriskos, following the theory that the “of the Macedonians” group of bronze coins belong to the period after 168 BC, and that this issue with the serrate edge can be attributed to mint workers that Andriskos brought with him from Syria after he sought and failed to get the support of the Seleukid king.&nbsp; Bronze coins with serrate edges of a similar module were a feature of some contemporary Seleukid coinage under Demetrios I.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
