eAuction #12, Los 33. Schätzpreis: CHF 150.00
Kings of Bactria. Euthydemos II. (c. 185-180 BC?). Cupro-Nickel Double Unit (22 mm, 7.40 g).
Obv. Laureate head of Apollo right.
Rev. BAΣIΛEΩΣ / EYΘYΔHMOY, tripod; monogram to left.
Bop. Série 6B; SNG ANS 224.
Rare. Surface problems as usual, otherwise, very fine.
The only substantially nickel coinage of antiquity was struck by the Baktrian kings Euthydemos II, Agathokles and Pantaleon. This new alloy was not successful as the Greek furnaces could not handle the very hard nickel with its high melting point, and the surfaces of the coins are usually pitted and corroded where the metals did not mix properly.
