The result gave a reading of 8.45 indicating that there must be a base metal core within the coin. This would account too for its low weight and, to some extent, its surface quality.

Provenance: Purchased Spink, 30 June 1965. Note: This is certainly one of the finest known staters of Gortyna depicting Europa with, unusually, Zeus in his two disguises on the obverse, both as an eagle and as a bull. A different, less powerful, die is known of the same type (as Svoronos 84 and BMC 30) which is combined with a more conventional bull on the reverse. Cretan coins of the 4th and 3rd centuries were overstruck on coins brought back to the island by mercenaries returning from abroad. Consequently they are normally found in indifferent state with traces of the undertypes interfering with the local designs which mostly represent Cretan mythology. The present coin and the stater of Phaistos in the following lot distinguish themselves as being carefully struck on flans that show no evidence of overstriking (although the broadness of their flans suggests otherwise).

Barron p. 213, 3-5 var. Provenance: Gitta Kastner 4, Munich, 27 November 1973, lot 132. Note: In the Kastner sale this coin was described as the third known obol of Attic weight struck at the time of the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BC). However the weight actually conforms to the 4th century issues of Samos struck on the Chian standard, and the style and type confirm this later dating. The delta in the field is unrecorded by Barron but is probably the initial of the magistrate Demon who struck tetradrachms and drachms (Barron recorded only single examples of each, in Copenhagen and Istanbul respectively) in the period c. 370-365 BC.

P6-7; cf. Traité pl. 148, 9-13; Kraay/Hirmer 639; Jenkins 126. Provenance: Bank Leu 45, Zurich, 26 May 988, lot 226; Münzen und Medaillen 41, Basel, 18 June 1970, lot 228. Note: The much admired iconography of the early 5th century coins of Kos relates to the Triopian Games held in honour of Apollo by Kos, Knidos and the three cities of Rhodes, Kimiros, Ialysos and Lindos. Bronze tripods were the prizes which the victors were expected to dedicate to the god. Herodotus (1, 144) related that when a certain Agasikles of Halikarnassos won, he disregarded this convention, taking the prize away and nailing it to the wall of his house. For this offence, Halikarnassos was banned from participating in the Games by the other cities. Jenkins, in Greek Coins, described this unique coin design thus: "The lean wiry form of the athlete`s body just about to be released like a spring, is vividly conveyed in the taut style which belongs to the early classical period; the tripod completes and at the same time balances the composition".
