Here are two of my favorite Apollo coins:[ATTACH=full]1144394[/ATTACH] Philip II, Kingdom of Macedonia, AE unit, 359–336 BC; Macedonian mint. Obv: Obv: laureate head of Apollo r. Rev: ΦΙΛΙΠ[ΠΟΥ], young rider on prancing horse r., A below. 18mm, 6.21g. Ref: SNG ANS 894, 935. [ATTACH=full]1144393[/ATTACH] Thrace, Apollonia Pontika, AR diobol, 4th century BC. Obv: laureate head of Apollo facing. Rev: upright anchor; A to l., crayfish to r. 11mm, 1.35g. Ref: SNG Copenhagen 459–461. Ex Artemide, eLive-Auction 7, lot 98. My own example of the Thessalian League type showing Apollo and Athena Itonia has been one of the very first ancient coins I bought. It is much less attractive than yours:[ATTACH=full]1144391[/ATTACH] Thessaly, Thessalian League, AE13, 196–146 BC. Obv: head of Apollo, laureate, r. Rev: ΘΕΣΣΑ[ΛΩΝ]; Athena Itonia striding right, hurling spear, shield on arm; monogram (AP?) in r. field. 13mm, 3.15g. Ref: Rogers 42 var. (monogram); Sear Greek 2237 var. (smaller denomination).[/QUOTE]
