third type ″later classic type of fine style″
obv. Balding ithyphallic Satyr with short hair and a short beard,
in kneeling-running attitude right, carrying in his arms a nymph
who wears a long robe and puts her right arm around the satyr′s neck,
letter I (?) in upper right field
rev. Rough quadripartite incuse square in windmill shape
Thasos was a major producer of silver from the mines it controlled on the mainland and struck an enormous number of silver coins as a way of exporting it. From the end of the 6th until the end of the 5th century her issues of staters bearing a satyr carrying off a nymph must have been struck in enormous numbers. They were apparently extremely popular to the north in the Balkans, where very large hoards of them have been found, as well as to the East and in Egypt (they have also turned up in Italy). The archaic and early classical staters are among the most abundant coins of those periods to survive, though really fine ones of good style are rare. However, the issues of the late 5th century, made in a fully developed classical style, reminiscent of the sculptures on the Parthenon and at Bassai, are not only far less common but are struck by dies engraved by a true master. The satyr is old and bearded, but is quite civilized looking, compared to his much rougher brothers on earlier coins. He very carefully holds a rather soignée nymph, wearing transparent drapery: her hair is of the latest fashion (see the nymphs on the hemidrachm coinage of Macedonian Neapolis for close parallels), and while her hands are spread in a pro forma protest, her legs are demurely crossed! This is an exceptional example very rare in such condition.
With this coin type we usually see a letter A or in some cases a letter S or Φ in the right field on the obverse. This specimen appears to have a letter I, but that letter is rather weakly rendered. It can also be the left leg of a badly executed letter A or some die rust, which seems most likely. Very rare.
♦ A classical masterpiece of Greek art ♦
