Sicily, Syracuse. Agathokles. Silver Tetradrachm (17.19 g), 317-289 BC. Struck ca. 317-310 BC. Wreathed head of Arethusa left, surrounded by three dolphins; below neck, ΦI. rev. [Σ]YPAKOΣIΩN in exergue, charioteer, holding goad and reins, driving galloping quadriga left; above, triskeles; in exergue, monogram. Ierardi 67 (O12/R43); SNG ANS 640-3. Lightly toned, Fine Style. Extremely Fine. Estimated Value $2,500 From the Dionysus Collection. Agathokles spent much of his early career struggling against the Syracusan oligarchy known as the Six Hundred. Fearing his personal wealth and popularity in the city, the Six Hundred sent him into exile, where he became a skilled mercenary commander. His new military strength and Carthaginian intervention paved the way for his return and appointment by the oligarchs as strategos autokrator ("supreme general"), but in 317/16 BC, he championed the cause of democracy (cynically as it turned out) and overthrew the Six Hundred. This coin was struck in the years following this coup and consciously looks back to older types used in democratic periods at Syracuse as a means of presenting a democratic façade while all real power was increasingly concentrated in the hands of Agathokles.
Seleukid Kingdom. Seleukos I Nikator. Silver Tetradrachm (17.22 g), 312-281 BC. Seleukeia on the Tigris II, ca. 296/5-281 BC. Laureate head of Zeus right. rev. BAΣIΛEΩΣ ΣEΛEYKOY, Athena, brandishing spear and shield, in quadriga of elephants right; above, Seleukid anchor and monogram; in exergue, AP. Cf. SC 130.25 var. (no AP); HGC 9, 18a.

Ionia, Smyrna. Silver Tetradrachm (16.68 g), ca. 155-145 BC. Posidonios, magistrate. Turreted head of Tyche right. rev. ZMYP/NAIΩN in two lines above magistrate's monogram; all within wreath. Milne 145; SNG von Aulock 2161. Struck in high relief with a lovely light iridescent tone. A truly magnificent example. Nearly Mint State. Estimated Value $5,000 From the Dionysus CollectionEx Leu 52 (15 May 1991), lot 94. This coin belongs to a class of tetradrachms primarily struck by cities of western Asia Minor around the mid-second century BC and easily distinguished by the wreath border on the reverse. Such wreath-bearing tetradrachms derived their reverse border from the influential New Style Athenian tetradrachms known as stephanophoroi ("wreath-bearers"). Many of the wreath-bearing coinages of western Asia Minor may have been produced under the influence of Attalos II (160-138 BC) as financial support for his foreign policy. Hoard evidence strongly suggests that some were used to underwrite the invasion of Syria by the Attalid-backed Seleukid pretender, Alexander Balas, in 150 BC. This issue of Smyrna predates Attalus' intervention in Seleukid affairs, but it probably served similar purposes abroad. Its reduced Attic weight made it more acceptable in international trade than the greatly overvalued cistophoric tetradrachm of the Attalid kingdom.
Sicily, Morgantina. The Sikeliotes. Silver 4 Litrai (3.95 g), ca. 214/3-213/2 BC. Veiled head of Persephone left, wreathed grain ears; behind, poppy. rev. ΣIKEΛIΩTAN, Nike, holding kentron and reins, driving galloping biga left; above, monogram. Sjöqvist 3; Enna 112 (same dies); Basel 415 (same dies). Rare. Lightly toned and absolutely superb. Nearly Mint State. Estimated Value $1,000 From the Dionysus Collection. As on the preceding issue naming the Greeks of Sicily - the Sikeliotes - the Persephone and biga types are also derived from the earlier coinage of Hieron II. This time the model was provided by his important gold series, but the treatment of the goddess also suggests a relationship to the similar Tanit type used for coins of Carthage in the fourth and third centuries BC.
