Greek. Cilicia. Mallos. Circa 425-385 BC. Drachm (Silver, 14.28 mm, 3.17 g). Sphinx seated left. Rev. MAP, Swan standing left with open wings. SNG Copenhagen -. SNG Levante -. SNG France -. SNG von Aulock -. BMC -. Cf. Nomos, Obolos 5, lot 406 (According to them, this previously unknown Mallos Drachm could provide an intriguing connection to the yet unattributed Cilician Obols featuring a sphinx on the reverse and a Gorgoneion on the obverse. Could these coins also originate from Mallos? This hypothesis, if confirmed, would offer valuable insights into the numismatic landscape of ancient Cilicia). Deeply toned. Very Fine. Apparently unpublished on the standard references: Extremely Rare.
