eAuction #47, Lot 27. Estimate: CHF 500.00

Mantineia, Peloponnesos. AR Drachm (18 mm, 5.14 g), c. 330s-320s BC.
Obv. Bearded and helmeted head of Lykaon right.
Rev. MANTI, head of Kallisto right, her hair falling free.
BMC 15 = Traité III, 965; Jameson 2513; BCD Peloponnesos 1479 (this coin).

Extremely rare, the first specimen to appear on the market since Jameson's in 1957. Beautifully toned. Attempted piercing on reverse, otherwise, very fine. A fascinating rarity showing both Kallisto and her father Lykaon.

From the BCD collection, acquired from S. Boutin in 1976; ex LHS 96 (2006), 1479.
