Description

ISLANDS off CARIA, Rhodos. Rhodes. Circa 305-275 BC.
Silver Didrachm 20mm,

Head of Helios facing slightly right.  Rev:  Rose with buds to left
and right; A to left of stem, trident to right.

Ashton 163; HGC 6, 1435.

Slabbed and (rather harshly) graded VF

I generally don’t buy slabbed coins – I feel they are a sadly retrogressive
commercialisation of numismatics. This coin is part of a larger collection
I have bought and can be removed from its slab.
