CIMMERIAN BOSPOROS. Pantikapaion. Circa 310-304/3 BC. Tetrachalkon (Bronze, 21.5 mm, 6.93 g, 6 h). Bearded head of satyr with animal ear to right. Rev. Π-Α-Ν Forepart of griffin left; below, sturgeon swimming to left. HGC 7, 113. MacDonald 69. A lovely, boldly struck coin with an attractive brown patina highlighted in green, and with a depiction of what seems to be a satyr who is intently staring at something in the distance! Extremely fine.



The accurate depiction of the sturgeon below the griffin on the reverse, reminds us of that fish's great importance for the city's economy.
