Kingdom of Macedon. Philip II, 359-336 BC. Gold Stater (8.58 g). Laureate head right of Apollo. Reverse: Charioteer driving biga right; no exergual line. Cf. Le Rider plate 90, 11-16 (no exergual line but differing symbols and monogram). Lustrous and struck from fresh dies. Superb Extremely Fine. Seemingly unpublished with the combination of this reverse monogram under horses, no exergual line, ear of grain, and small snake(?) or caduceus at bottom right. Most likely a late issue unearthed in the late 1960s or 70s. An important variant! Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000. Categories:
