THRACE, Mesambria. Circa 100-72/1 BC. AR Tetradrachm (31mm, 16.11 g, 11h). In the name and types of Alexander III of Macedon. Eupha(midas), magistrate. Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin / Zeus Aëtophoros seated left; EYΦA and crested Corinthian helmet in inner left field, MEΣAMBPI in exergue. Price 1125; Karayotov 323 (O98/R319). VF, minor obverse die break on cheek, light scratches in fields.


Karayotov lists Price 1125 as his catalog number 847, but this is erroneous; Karayotov seems to have thought that all coin numbers in Price referred to actual coins in the BM, but this is not correct. Thus, Karayotov often lists coins with no die numbers, referring to Price numbers as BM coins.
