TYPE Ancient Greece, Danubian Celts (in imitation of Parion, Mysia), ca. 450-400 BC, silver drachm(?), 2.00g DESCRIPTION . Obv: Gorgon facing Rev: Cruciform pattern in incuse REFERENCE: For TA 13, 8v, cf. SG 3918 (imitation of) GRADING: F / VF, toning (patchy on obv.), crude obv. ORDER INFO: G1345, $45 A better specimen of this interesting though crude imitation of an archaic hemidrachm type, usually attributed to Parion. The Gorgon image here, as is typical, is only partially formed - though still with a stern, if not exactly terrifying, look. These imitative types were once attributed to the Tectosages of Galatia, but recent hoard evidence no points to the 5th c. BC Danubian Celts as the issuers.
