Benefactor KenDorney Posted June 9, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted June 9, 2022 I've had this Mazaios stater for some time and I cant seem to find a reference for it. Before I catalog it as 'unpublished' I wanted to see if anyone knows of a reference for it. The unusual part is the small facing lion head on the obverse in left field. After sorting through thousands of auction lots and catalogs I only found one other example sold (I think this year), but it was so heavily worn I couldn't tell if it was a die link or not. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapphnwn Posted June 10, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) I checked the SNG France Cilicie CNG Levante as well as the Supplement to Levante and found nothing that matches your coin. I do not know if images are available on the BM ANS or other museum sites but you can try. I have a Stater or Disiglos of Mazaios as well.

Dwarf Posted June 10, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Trying to be of help. I found this coin, offered twice. Obverse seems to be the same die, reverse definitely different.https://www.coinarchives.com/a/openlink.php?l=1455392|2996|142|f302f73475c9bcc2b9f3f34fc4fe7a3fhttps://www.coinarchives.com/a/openlink.php?l=1582573|3319|529|3d5c8ab466fe9dfd0db19da469d021c7 And here the link to Asia Minor Coins https://www.asiaminorcoins.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=6080 Regards Klaus Edited June 10, 2022 by Dwarf 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
