Lot 3096

ANCIENT COINS, Greek, Kingdom of Parthia, Phraates I (168-164 BC) through to Mithradates I (164-132 BC), Period 165-148 BC, Silver Drachm, 3.81g, 12h, minted at Hekatompylos(?), diademed bust left in bashlyk, wearing single turn torque, dotted border, rev archer seated right on omphalos (S 10.17 (probably an issue of Phraates II); Sunrise 256). About very fine and very rare. ex David Sellwood Collection, The New York Sale XXXIV, Markov / Baldwin / M&M / Goldberg, January 2015, lot 337 Sellwood tentatively assigned this issue to Phraates II. However, given that Phriapatius had already been divinised around 170 BC (see lot 333 with ΘΕΟY) and that the final beardless and bashlyk type Drachms were minted around 148/7 BC, it is likely that one of the two sons of Phriapatius, Phraates I or Mithradates I, minted the S 10.17 Drachms with “Son of a Divine Father”.
