NOBLE ROMAN COINS Presents... Ave! Greek Black Greek Colony, Panticapaeum City Issue Young Satyr/ Bow and Arrow, 304-250 BC #2 Ae 20.3mm/6.5gm Obv/ beardless satyr l., hair wreathed with ivy. Counter-marked with star. Rev/ Bow and Arrow; PAN. Con/ chVF+ for the issue; dark olive green patina. Ref/ MacDonald #117 Seller's Note/ Counter-marking coins at Panticapaeum was very common as a way to increase their value. At first, coins were simply CM's a single die, then later with a hinged die, but after time this grew so cumbersome that the celators simply recreated the original coin and engraved the counter-marks on both sides. This coin is of the first type, CM'd with a single die. The easy way to tell the difference between the two latter CM types is that on the 'hinged die' types, the reverse image has been flattened by the strike. On 'engraved' CM'd coins, the CM's are perfectly centered. See our other listings for more excellent examples of Ancient Greek coins. ! No reserve for this one. Check out my other items !
