ISLANDS OFF CARIA, Rhodos. Rhodes. Circa 88/42 BC-AD 14. Drachm (Silver, 18.5 mm, 4.05 g, 12 h), struck under the magistrate Kritiokles. Radiate head of Helios facing, turned slightly to the right. Rev. Ρ - Ο / ΚΡΙΤΟΚΗΣ (sic!) Rose seen from above; below, corn ear to left. Ashton & Weiss 152 (A37/P150). With a head of Helios of dramatically emotional late Hellenistic style; of considerable interest for the die cutter's mistaken rendering of the magistrate's name: Κριτοκης for the correct Κριτιοκλης. Lustrous and well-struck. Extremely fine.
