eAuction #36, Lot 13. Estimate: CHF 600.00

Stymphalos, Arcadia. AE Dichalkon (17 mm, 4.30 g), c. 350 BC.
Obv. Laureate head of Artemis right, wearing peandant earring and pearl necklace.
Rev. ΣTYMΦA, bow and quiver.
BMC 7 (same dies) = MG 266; Pozzi (Boutin) 4365 = Naville IV (1922), 615 (same reverse die); BCD Peloponnesos 1706 corr. (this coin, quiver not club).

Of great rarity. Sightly rough surfaces, otherwise, very fine.

From the BCD collection, ex LHS 96 (2006), 1706.

While Stymphalos - the location of the sixth labor of Herakles - issued a number of silver coins (especially Obols), its bronze coinage is of an extreme rarity and among the hardest to find among all Peloponnesian minor coinages.
