TROAS. Kebren. Circa 350-310 BC. (Bronze, 21 mm, 8.26 g, 6 h). Head of a ram to right; below, horizontal stalk of wheat to right. Rev. K - E Laureate head of Apollo to right. MAST 3.16 (this coin). SNG Copenhagen 266-267 var. (but with an eagle instead of the wheat stalk). Attractive greenish black patina; most probably the best known example in the Kebren bronze series. Small edge crack, otherwise, good extremely fine.

From a European collection, ex Tradart 1, 12 December 1991, 140 and Sternberg XII, 18 November 1982, 216.

This is one of those marvellous coins that once was in one of those famous sales held by Tradart in Geneva during the 1990s. They were well-known for having been attended by audiences that were both distinguished and mysterious, and who paid prices that were also distinguished and, also, very definitely mysterious.
