Description
Greek Rarity
Mylasa. c. 175-150 BC. Tetradrachm, 9.38g (12h). Obv: Rose with two buds; in inner left field, Μ (monogram MY). Rx: IΑ - Α Eagle standing right on palm branch, spreading wings; in right field, ΛΩ. Unpublished. Cf. R. Ashton, 'The Pseudo-Rhodian Drachms of Mylasa', NC 1992, pp. 22-3, G and H, pl. 10 (two larger coins known, both variants of ours). Akarca pl. 2, 11 var. SNG von Aulock 2863 var. SNG Kayhan 842 var. Cf. R. Ashton & G. Reger in Agoranomia, p. 137, pl. 6, 200. Very few of these coins have ever come to light. They are highly interesting because they show the month of issue, unfortunately not the year. EF.ΛΩ is the abbreviation for the month of ΛΩΙΟΣ (=July) in the Macedonian calendar.
