Phoenicia, Arados. Uncertain king. Silver Stater (10.07 g), ca. 380-351/0 BC. Laureate head of marine deity right. Reverse: Galley right; waves below; all within dotted border within incuse square. Cf. Betlyon 10; cf. HGC 10, 29 corr. Boldly struck and unusually well centered. Rarely seen this choice. Extremely Fine.

The reverse exhibits an unusual style for one of these. The letters are partly nonsensical, the shape of the ship is peculiar, and the waves are much longer and more fluid than the typical zig-zag pattern of the waves normally seen on this type. The obverse, however, is of completely normal style. This reverse die used to strike this coin was perhaps the work of an apprentice engraver of little skill, who was certainly illiterate. Regardless, a most interesting example of this popular coinage that deserves further research.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
