Description

ASIA MINOR. Uncertain (possibly Magnesia ad Sipylum). Ae (Circa 2nd century).

Obv: MAΓNHTΩN (?).
Scorpion.
Rev: [...]ΠANAN.
Lyre.

SNG von Aulock -; Asia Minor Coins online -; apparently unpublished.

The legend on the obverse appears to read MAΓNHTΩN, though it is not entirely clear. Scorpions do appear on a few autonomous issues from this Magnesia, so an attribution to that city is possible, though not at all certain. Extremely rare.

Condition: Good fine.

Weight: 1.72 g.
Diameter: 11 mm.
