Mi ricollego al tuo post # 186 per aggiungere che il tetra di Pafo è uno dei migliori esemplari della serie caratterizzata sul diritto dal nome del sovrano cipriota Nicocle inciso debolmente sulla criniera del leone e dal monogramma di Pafo costituito dalla fusione di ΠΑΦ nel campo a sinistra del rovescio. Altra caratteristica è il nome ALEXANDROY con il titolo regale BASILEOS pure in verticale e paralleli allo scettro di Zeus, con la spiga di grano sotto il trono (Price 3122). Nel Price 3123 c’è un ramoscello d’alloro invece della spiga. Nel Price 3119 sotto il trono c’è una rosa, ma la scritta è ALEXANDROY senza il titolo regale, come pure nel Price 3120 dove però sotto al trono c’è un’ape al posto della rosa.

 

Questo è il tetra con il titolo regale e il ramoscello d'alloro sotto il trono.

 

 

KINGS of MACEDON. Alexander III 'the Great'. 336-323 BC. AR Tetradrachm (17.06 g, 6h). Paphos mint. Struck under Nikokles, king of Paphos, circa 325-317 BC. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin headdress; small NIKOKLEOUS in lion's mane / BASILEWS ALEXANDROU, Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; monogram in left field, laurel sprig below throne. Price 3123; May, Paphos 7; SNG München -; SNG Alpha Bank -; Demanhur 2675. Good VF, only traces of name visible. Very rare.

La moneta più importante di Nicocle è il distatere che alla Triton XV ha spuntato la notevole aggiudicazione a 600000 $ con stima di partenza di 400000 $.

 

 

CYPRUS, Paphos. Nikokles. Circa 325-309 BC. AR Distater (26mm, 21.29 g, 12h). Persic standard. Struck circa late 320s BC or later, perhaps circa 310 BC. Head of Aphrodite to left, wearing an elaborate tiara composed of a mural crown with four towers enclosing a polos ornamented with palmettes and annulets, a disc earring with a triple pendant and a pearl necklace; behind her neck, Π-ΒΑ / ΝΙΚΟΚΛΕΟΥΣ / ΠΑΦΙΟΝ, Apollo, wearing a laurel wreath and nude but for a cloak over his shoulders, seated left on omphalos, holding an arrow in his right hand and a bow, the bottom of which rests on the ground, in his left; to left, laurel branch. BMC pl. XXII, 11 = Traité II, 1326 (Florence, same dies); A.-P. C. Weiss, “The Persic Distaters of Nikokles Revisited,” Studies BCD, O2/R2 b (this coin). Of the greatest rarity, the finest of only four known genuine examples. Attractively toned and with particularly fine representations of both Aphrodite and Apollo. Sharply struck in good silver, well centered and extremely fine.

 

Previously passed down in the property of a family in Cyprus (present-day North Cyprus), given by grandfather to grandson in about 1962, brought to England by the grandson in 1966 when he moved to the UK.

 

This is a spectacular coin of great beauty and historical significance. Nikokles was one of the most powerful of the late kings in Cyprus, but he, like all the others, was overthrown by Ptolemy I (Nikokles and his family all committed suicide). This coin falls into a series of Paphiote coins that began with the issues of Nikokles’ father Timarchos, who produced a very rare Persic stater (half the weight of this coin) with a very similar head of Aphrodite, coupled with her familiar, a dove. She was the most prominent deity at Paphos (her sanctuary was famous), and her importance is emphasized by the letters on the obverse: Π[αφου] ΒΑ[σιλισσα] = Queen of Paphos. This is emphasized by the mural crown she wears as well, since it symbolizes the powerful walls of Old Paphos (the city of New Paphos was almost certainly founded by Ptolemy I), of which she was the protectress. On the reverse we find Apollo, the syncretized version of Hylates, a similar god originally worshiped on Cyprus (nearby Kourion, a town not far away from Paphos on the west coast of the island, was famous for its sanctuary to Apollo-Hylates). It has been suggested that the figure on the reverse of this coin represents a statue that was erected in Paphos, perhaps by Nikokles, and that it was later carried off to Antioch where it was used as a prototype for the seated figure of Apollo that appeared on Seleukid coinage. The denomination of this coin, a Persic double stater, is a rare one, but it must have been produced as a prestige object in answer to the lighter Attic weight tetradrachms that had become prevalent in the east - it certainly fits in perfectly with the local system.

Only four genuine examples of this coin are known, including this piece: two are in museums, Turin and Florence, and two in private collections (see Weiss, passim). The fact that only two obverse and two reverse dies are known for this coinage makes it very clear that it was meant to be a special issue (or, perhaps, that an originally large issue was unexpectedly cut short). It must have been struck after the less ostentatious issue of Alexander-type tetradrachms that bore the name of Nikokles in tiny letters along the border of the lion skin on the obverse (Price p. 388 and coins 3118-3123). Those pieces had to have been minted in the late 320s (they appear in a hoard buried c. 317) and it is possible that the more explicitly named distaters were produced shortly thereafter. However, a date in the years shortly before Nikokles’ suicide might fit the evidence even better. He was clearly chafing under Ptolemaic suzerainty at that time (he was negotiating with Antigonos Monophthalmos), and producing such a flamboyant coinage might be seen as a way of emphasizing his own importance. If this were the case it resulted in his downfall, and the clear probability that the Ptolemaic authorities in Cyprus made a conscious effort to demonetize and melt down all the coins of this type they could find; thus helping to explain its enormous rarity today.

Questa è nella tua collezione? :P

A parte gli scherzi è un capolavoro e la sua storia davvero interessante. Potrebbe essere la nonna di metà della monetazione seleucide...

Che dire poi della damnatio memoriae numismatica di Nicocle... sapevo di qualche caso nel mondo romano ad esempio con Caligola, ma in epoca così antica... Deve far riflettere sull'importanza che si attribuiva alle monete come strumento di propaganda politica.

[apollonia]

Rientriamo nel campo gravitazionale del nostro pianeta facendo notare che, se ti può essere di conforto, gli altri esemplari della tua dramma Price P61 al post # 188 che si vedono in giro non solo granchè come conservazione. Questo della CNG 322 del marzo 2014 (stima 100 $, realizzo 150 $) è il migliore dal punto di vista dei rilievi, ma presenta una frattura di conio al diritto e depositi scuri sul rovescio.

 

KINGS of MACEDON. Philip III Arrhidaios. 323-317 BC. AR Drachm (17mm, 4.30 g, 12h). In the name of Alexander III. Magnesia ad Maeandrum mint. Struck under Menander or Kleitos, circa 323-319 BC. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; AT monogram in left field, cornucopia below throne. Price P61. Good VF, obverse die break, deposits on reverse.

A parte quell'orribile concrezione nerastra direi che questa è molto meglio della mia... che comunque mi è costata circa un terzo.

Per quanto riguarda la frattura di conio, non è un plusvalore piuttosto che un difetto? Ce ne saranno sicuramente molte di più con questo conio di dritto integro. Inoltre non può essere d'aiuto nello studio dei die links?

[apollonia]

Sicuramente il conio avrà fatto la sua parte e avrà prodotto molte monete di ottima qualità prima di fratturarsi. Può darsi che un giorno o l’altro saltino fuori quattro o cinque esemplari della dramma Price P61 praticamente identici in conservazione FDC (ah ah), ma allo stato attuale e da quanto è apparso sul mercato numismatico, i ritrovamenti sono limitati a monete in grado di conservazione non eccelso tipo questa 

 

Greece. Kings of Macedon. Philip III Arrhidaios (323-317 BC). AR Drachm, Magnesia ad Meandrum circa 325-323 BC. Obv. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion's skin headdress. Rev. Zeus seated left on throne, holding eagle and sceptre; in left field monogram and below throne, cornucopiae. Price P61. SNG Cop. 1102. AR. g. 3.96 mm. 17.00. Fine.

 

Ciò nulla toglie all’interesse storico e numismatico di questi esemplari, anzi…

Almeno di questa la mia è meglio... e magari quelle quattro o cinque FDC avranno un engraver's error tipo

ΦΙΑΑΠΠΟΥ con una lambda un pò strana... ;)

E per quanto riguarda l'interesse storico e numismatico hai perfettamente ragione... se dovessi prendere solo tetra FDC ne prenderei una ogni due anni.... sinceramente preferisco un bronzetto decente dai grandi significati, ad un pezzo in metallo nobile, che seppur bellissimo non dica nulla.... magari lo venderei per tanti bronzetti :D

Non ho trovato nominali d'argento di Filippo III al di sotto dell'emidramma, se non l'obolo riportato dal Price come P211
