Unique Mule Hybrid of Lysimachus and Seleucid types, ancient imitation. 306-281 BC. Tetradrachm, 15.44g (11h). Uncertain Mint, c. 245-225 BC. Obv: Head of Alexander the Great right, horned, wearing diadem. Rx: [Β]ΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ − [Α]ΝΤΙΟΧΟΥ Naked Apollo seated left on omphalos, holding arrow in right hand and resting left hand on bow. For the obverse, see Meydancıkkale 2720, 2733 and 2734. For the reverse, see C. Boehringer in Carson/Jenkins Essays, pl. XI, 9. VF/Fine+ This hybrid tetradrachm is without parallel as far as we can discover. The obverse rather accurately copies that of the posthumous Lysimachus tetradrachms that were struck by numerous mints in both Thrace and Asia Minor for decades after Lysimachus’ death in 281 BC. The reverse, however, is Seleucid both in type, Apollo seated on the omphalos at Delphi, and legend, that of a ruler with the Seleucid name Antiochus. The style of the reverse is slightly barbarous, indicating that the coin is irregular rather than a mule produced in an official city mint that had recently been captured by a Seleucid general. The absence of control marks supports this view. Perhaps our coin was struck by the Galatian mercenaries that Antiochus Hierax engaged for his war against his brother Seleukus II Callinicus in the 230s BC; the engraver of the reverse die could have worked earlier in a Celtic workshop in Thrace or Asia Minor. At any rate, this coin gives us a fascinating glimpse into the frequently changing borders and allegiances in Asia Minor during the almost continuous wars between the Hellenistic rulers in the third century BC
Pergamum Kingdom. Philetaerus. 282-263 BC. Tetradrachm, 16.90g (12h). Obv: Laureate head of Seleucus I right. Rx: ΦΙΛΕΤΑΙΡΟΥ Athena enthroned left, extending right hand to shield before her, and holding transverse spear with left hand; ivy leaf above her right arm, bow in outer right field. Newell 15b. SNG Paris 1598. Bold portrait struck in high relief. VF Philetaerus, entrusted with the stronghold of Pergamum by King Lysimachus of Thrace, switched to the side of Seleucus I of Syria in 282 AD, and continued to show that king`s portrait on his coins after Seleucus was assassinated in 280. The Pergamum mint`s high-quality portraiture makes these Pergamene portraits of Seleucus I even more desirable than his portraits on coins struck by Seleucid mints
Pergamum Kingdom. Eumenes I. 263-241 BC. Tetradrachm, 16.80g (11h). Obv: Laureate head of Philetaerus right. Dotted border.

Westermark group VI A. SNG Paris-. SNG von Aulock-. Good VF/VF The corpulence of Philetaerus’ portraits has led some to suppose that he may have been a eunuch. In any case, he had no children, so left his kingdom to his nephew Eumenes, who for his part initiated the practice of placing Philetaerus` posthumous portrait on his coins
Pergamum Kingdom. Eumenes I. 263-241 BC. Tetradrachm, 16.95g (11h). Obv: Laureate head of Philetaerus right.

Two small contact marks at 7h on obverse, otherwise pleasant VF Ex Richard P. Miller Collection The word "smintha" seems to derive from the Phrygian language, and means “mouse” or “rat”. Apollo Smintheus was accordingly an exterminator of rats and plagues
