Dynasts of Lycia Silver Sixth-Stater (390-360 BC) VF NGC (Vault)
In the ancient region of Lycia, during the years spanning 390 to 360 BC, the ruler Mithrapata issued a remarkable silver coin known as a sixth-stater. Weighing approximately 0.0800 troy ounces of silver, this ancient artifact offers a tangible connection to the artistry of classical antiquity. The obverse of the coin presents a bold, stylized depiction of a lion scalp facing directly forward. This fierce imagery is paired with a reverse design featuring a triskeles, a traditional three-branched spiral motif. This particular specimen has survived the centuries in a certified Very Fine condition, allowing modern observers to appreciate the intricate details of its classical engraving.
