KINGS of MACEDON. temp. Antigonos I Monophthalmos – Lysimachos. Circa 310-290 BC. AR Tetradrachm (29mm, 16.94 g, 12h). In the name and types of Alexander III. Uncertain mint in western Asia Minor. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; in left field, monogram above grape bunch. Price –; CNG 421, lot 88 var. (additional symbol); CNG 420, lot 110 var. (same). Lightly toned, hairlines, scratches and die break on obverse. Good VF.

This coin is related to the drachms Price 2762–3 (for illustrations see Armenak 618–9), by virtue of style and control marks, and it is obverse die linked to a tetradrachm with the markings of Price 2763. Price 2764 may also belong to this group, but there are no illustrations of that issue. It is also probably related to a slightly earlier group of tetradrachms that has a similar style, but which have a single control symbol in the left field (cf. Seleucus I Hoard 1000–1006). The style of all these coins is very similar to issues of the Ionian coastal mints, although a precise attribution to any of them is not presently possible.
