kapphnwn Posted October 11, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted October 11, 2022 Chalkidian League Ar Stater Olynthos 350 BC Obv Head of Apollo right laureate Rv Kithara Robinson & Clement Group V 128 HGC 500 14.49 grms 25 mm Photo By W. HansenThis coin was minted just prior to the capture of the city of Olynthus by Philip II of Macedon. It is likely that he had gotten the idea of using Apollo on his new coinage from the Apollo seen on the coinage of the Chalkidian League. The Kithara was the ancient equivalent to the guitar. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
