MACEDON. Aineia. Circa 450 BC. Tetrobol (Silver, 15 mm, 2.32 g, 4 h). Head of Aineias to left, with a light beard and wearing a crested Corinthian helmet. Rev. AI/N/E/AΣ in a shallow incuse around a raised quadripartite square. AMNG III/2, 5. HGC 3.1, 375. SNG ANS 73. SNG Copenhagen 34. Very rare. Nicely toned. With die faults behind the head on the obverse and a few scratches on the reverse, otherwise, very fine.

From the Collection of Jonathan H. Kagan and from the Dix Collines Collection, ex Sternberg XXV, 25 November 1991, 90.

Curiously enough, almost every known example of this coin shows faults behind Aineias's head, ranging from light ones to rather heavy ones, as here.
