CIMMERIAN BOSPOROS. Pantikapaion. Circa 310-304/3 BC. Tetrachalkon (Bronze, 20 mm, 7.49 g, 12 h). Bearded head of satyr with animal ear to right. Rev. Π-Α-Ν Forepart of griffin left; below, large sturgeon swimming to left. HGC 7, 113. MacDonald 69. A remarkably fine and well-preserved example of an otherwise fairly common coin. Very sharply struck in high relief with a lovely brown patina and with a remarkably accurate depiction of a sturgeon. Good extremely fine.



The accurate depiction of a very large sturgeon on this coin, reminds us of that fish's great economic importance.
