While it is fairly certain that this issue belongs to the region of Coelesyria or Phoenicia, the boundaries of the Antigonid and Ptolemaic possessions there continually shifted during the period of its striking. Thus, although the Antigonids usually controlled most of this region during this time, this coin might instead be a product of a mint under Ptolemaic authority.
Closing Date and Time: 2 April 2025 at 10:36:00 ET.
All winning bids are subject to a 20% buyer’s fee.
