SNG ANS 336; Gulbenkian 410 (same dies). Boldly struck and well centered. Very Rare. One of the finest known. Nearly Mint State. Estimated Value $20,000 From the Dionysus CollectionEx E. Waddell inventory, April 1999. Founded by Eretrian colonists in the Chalkidike in the ninth century BC, Mende is said to have derived its name from a corruption of minthe, the Greek name for the mint plants that grew in the region. The city grew wealthy from its access to lumber, silver, and gold from the Thraco-Macedonian interior, but owed much of its fame to local wine production. Mendean wine was so renowned and sought after that the fourth-century BC sculptor Lysippos reportedly designed a special form of amphora specifically for the transport of this vintage. Thus it is not surprising that a large vine heavy with succulent grapes was chosen as the badge for the reverse of this tetradrachm, while the obverse depicts the god of the vine, Dionysos or, perhaps, Selinos. The latter was a rustic deity, the father or grandfather of both the satyrs and the nymphs and spent most of his time completely drunk. Indeed, he was usually so drunk that he needed to be supported by satyrs or, as on this coin, by an ass. When the wine god Dionysos was born from the thigh of Zeus, Hermes placed the infant in the care of Silenos - after all, who else more suited to raising the god of wine than a drunken satyr - who became his tutor and was a prominent figure in the Dionysiac thiasos (retinue).

Well centered and nicely toned. Superb Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $1,000 From the Dionysus Collection. Silenos was the prodigiously drunk companion and tutor of the wine-god Dionysos. During a period of inebriated wandering in Phrygia, Silenos was said to have been rescued by peasants who brought him to King Midas. The famous king entertained the rustic deity for five days and nights, at the conclusion of which Silenos thanked him by offering to grant any wish Midas had. Unfortunately, blinded by greed, Midas asked for the power to turn anything into gold by the touch of his hand. This Silenos granted and Midas' wish soon turned into a curse.

Lesbos, Mytilene. Electrum Hekte (2.53 g), ca. 454-428/7 BC. Bearded head of Silenos right. rev. Head of lion facing within incuse square. Bodenstedt 47; HGC 6, 973. Fine Style Portrait.Very Rare. Boldly struck in high relief and well centered. Toned. Nearly Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $1,000 From the Dionysus Collection. Silenos, a minor rustic wine deity closely connected to Dionysos, appears with some frequency on the coins of Mytilene as a reference to wine production on Lesbos. In antiquity the island was famous for its Pramnian wine. Homer refers to this vintage in the Odyssey and another tradition held that a brother of Sappho, the famous lyric poet of Mytilene, was an exporter of Lesbian wine to Egypt.
