eAuction #13, Lot 15. Estimate: CHF 1'000.00

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

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