TYPE Ancient Greece, Apollonia Pontika (Thrace), 400-350 BC, silver diobol, 1.21g DESCRIPTION . Obv: Head of Apollo facing Rev: Anchor, A and crayfish to sides, Greek magistrate's name SO in field REFERENCE: SG 1657v, Del 787v GRADING: AEF / VF, nice toning, scarcer variant ORDER INFO: G2240, $75 There is some inconsistency as as to the interpretation of the obverse/reverse orientation for Apollonian fractions, the anchor side considered obverse (with facing head reverse) for drachms and for some reason the opposite for diobols. The present specimen displays an attractive facing portrait (presumably no longer Gorgon, but now Apollo - in any event, downright pleasing compared to the wild Medusa renditions) and a scarce (for silver) magistrate indicator.
