[QUOTE="NewStyleKing, post: 4598002, member: 106483"]According to deCallatay in "les guerres Mithradatiques...pour les views monnaise", Pegasos types have a veristic portrait whilst the Stag has a more heroic/Alexander like with flowing wind blown locks. The stag reverse superseded the pegasus reverse in 88 BC I don't know if Francoise says why but his superb book is in French of which I know next to nothing! Athens AU Star between 2 crescents BM. Suddenly issues out of the usual types in gold are always signs of desperate times. Nothing could be worse than Mr Lucky hammering on your doors. Following Bellingers remark I put the Athenian silver stars and 2 crescents along with possible Mithradatic coins minted in Athens? with a huge mintage thundering Zeus AE type in 88/87 and only bronze in 87/86 to make up the lack of silver.
