Macedon, Antigonos Doson, Silver Tetradrachm

Kingdom of Macedon, Antigonos Doson (227-221 B.C.), Silver Tetradrachm. Mint of Pella. Head of Poseidon facing right, wearing a wreath of seaweed, rev. BAΣIΛEΩΣ / ANTIΓONOY inscribed on the side of a prow left, upon which is seated Apollo left, testing a bow, a monogram below, 17.13g., 12h (Panagopoulou pl. 33, 158; SNG Alpha Bank 1046-7; SNG Ashmolean 3264). A beautiful example, well-struck and centred on a very broad flan, light iridescent cabinet toning, extremely fine.

While these silver Tetradrachms of Antigonos Doson are not particularly rare, it is surprisingly difficult to find an example as well-struck as this. Both obverse and reverse are in high relief for this issue and, in combination with attractive toning, provide significant eye-appeal.

Provenance:

Ex NAC 8, 3 April 1995, lot 229

Ex Leu 86, 5 May 2003, lot 367
