210, Lot: 79. Estimate $300.
Sold for $490. This amount does not include the buyer’s fee.

UNCERTAIN. Circa 480 BC. AR Stater (20mm, 11.06 g). Chimaera right / Square incuse. CNG 66, lot 401 (attributed to Sikyon; same dies); otherwise unpublished. Near VF, porous. Extremely rare.


While the chimaera is associated with Sikyon, this and the related specimen in CNG 66 do not fit neatly into the city’s coinage for this period. With such a scarcity of evidence, the attribution is for now uncertain.
