eAuction #37, Lot 11. Estimate: CHF 400.00

Kaphyai, Arcadia. AE Chalkous (14 mm, 3.05 g), c. fist half of 3rd Century BC.
Obv. Helmeted head of Athena right.
Rev. KAΦ within wreath of grain leaves.
BMC 1, BCD Peloponnesos 1380 (this coin).

Extremely rare. Obverse scratches. Good fine.

From the BCD collection, ex LHS 96 (2006), 1380.

In the LHS catalogue, BCD noted: "the autonomous AE of Kaphyai seems to be amongst the rarest bronze city coins of the Peloponnesos. Extremely rare is an understatement for this and the next coin..."
