MYSIA. Kyzikos. AR Tetradrachm (14.98 gms), ca. 390-341/0 B.C. NGC AU★, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 4/5. Fine Style. Von Fritze-II, 28; SNG BN-399. Obverse: Head of Kore Soteira left, wearing veiled sphendone and two grain ears; Reverse: Head of lion left; kerykeion to right; below, tunny left. Rather deeply toned, this incredibly example features a rather enlivened lion on the reverse, with a snarl that seemingly leaps off from the flan. Undoubtedly one of the finer of the type that one is likely to encounter. Ex: Frankfurter Muenzhandlung 132 (5/1989) Lot # 51.
