Stater 390-370 BC Uncertain mint Lycia, Mithrapata, Uncertain mint, Silver AU(55-58)

Prijsbieding

Forepart of roaring lion right., Head of Mithrapata left; behind, triskeles; all within incuse square., Superbe coin, in a rare state of preservation. The engraver's talent can be seen in the perfectly preserved portrait on the reverse, which shows every detail of a man with elderly features, slightly sunken cheeks and a long beard, an aquiline nose and hair combed forward. The issues of his successor Perikles continue these artistic developments, except the portrait is moved to the obverse and is, quite dramatically, facing instead of executed in profile. Around 360 BC, Maussollos of Caria conquered the area, thus abruptly ending Lycia’s dynastic coinage.
