eAuction #16, Lot 25. Estimate: CHF 500.00
Patrae, Achaia. AR Hemidrachm (15-16 mm, 2.31 g), c. mid 30s BC.
Obv. Head of Aphrodite right, wearing stephane, earring and necklage.
Rev. ΔA/MACIAC above Patrae monogram; all within laurel wreath.
BMC 2-3. SNG Lockett 2348.
Toned. Good very fine.
A date in the mid to late 30s in conjuncetion with Antony's preparations for the coming war with Octavian makes good sense for this issue. The head of Aphrodite is very close to that of Cleopatra, which appears on the slightly later hemiobols minted by Agias Lysonos.
From the H. Zwager and BCD collections; ex LHS 96 (2006), 528.
