THESSALY, Meliboia. Circa 352-344 BC. Trichalkon (Bronze, 20mm, 7.98 g 11). Head of nymph to right, wearing earring. Rev. Μ]ΕΛΙΒΟΕΩΝ Bunch of grapes bound to and encircled by an ivy wreath. Helly 2004 pl. 3, 24 (but ascribed to Eurymenai) = SNG Copenhagen 249 (but ascribed to Rhizos). Rogers -. Extremely rare, the only example known with a readable inscription, thus allowing a proper attribution. Obverse weakly struck, otherwise, nearly extremely fine.


A note from BCD: A great rarity, and what a feeling of satisfaction it was to find out with this acquisition, that both Helly and SNG Copenhagen would be corrected at the same time. However, just as this catalogue was being prepared another of these coins appeared, this time correctly identified: Helios VI, 9 March 2011, 498.
