SOLD $130

PAMPHYLIA, Side, (c.200 B.C.), silver tetradrachm, (16.376 grams), obv. Athena to right wearing Corinthian helmet, countermark of Seleucid anchor on helmet, rev. Nike advancing to left, **DEI NO across, in field to left a pomegranate, (S.5433, SNG Von Aulock 4787 for Magistrate, 4796 for countermark). Extensive surface pitting, otherwise good fine.

These tetradrachms from Side often bear countermarks, one of the more remarkable is the Seleucid anchor. The Latakie Hoard of 1759 had an example from Side with this countermark, and also other finds of dated coins from Aspendos with this countermark, consequently this has allowed the attributed of the countermark to the period 174-170 B.C.
