Description
Mint State
Thraco-Macedonian Tribes. Derrones. c. 480-465 BC. Dodecadrachm, 30.39g. Obv: Ox cart with basket-weave sides driven right by bearded man with whip, Corinthian helmet above, aphlaston under ox. Rx: Triskeles of human legs. Unpublished. This is an extremely remarkable coin for several reasons. The large incused air bubbles on the reverse show that during the minting process the flans were created by pouring molten metal onto a smooth surface. While the obverse is slightly doublestruck, it shows mint luster which is seldom seen on dodecadrachms. Mint State.Auction Info
