Thrace, Chersonesos City Issue, Chersonas & Artemis c. 253-268 AD

Æ 19mm/4.7gm

Con/ Very Fine for the issue; struck in very high relief; scarce with near full legends.

Obv/ EΛEY-ΘEPAC, laureate and draped bust of Chersonas right; lyre to right

Rev/ XEPCO-?HCOY; Artemis in war-like attitude r., armed with spear and bow; to right, forepart of stag right.

Ref/ Cf. Anokhin 917; Anokhin, Khersonesa 307 .

Seller's Note/ By the beginning of the 3rd Cent. AD, the city of Cherson (Crimean Peninsula) had become a bit of a back-water, although still loosely under the rule of Rome and their coinage had greatly denigrated in style from the 'glory days' in the 3rd Cent BC. This is a very rare and very collectable issue that you won't find on Wildwinds or any other common resource.

Very rare and very collectable!
