                  ORC3513 Ptolemy I tetr. Delta KI gVF 


                  Ptolemaic Egypt, Ptolemy I, 323-283 BC, AR tetradrachm, 
                  (14.23g) signed by the artist D, attributed to the Alexandria 
                  Mint by Svoronos, to Kition Mint here, Diademed head of 
                  Ptolemy I right, with aegis at neck, small D behind ear. / 
                  PTO/\ to LEMAIOY BASI/\ to LEWS Eagle standing left, on 
                  thunderbolt, ST, KI and AX monograms before. S7762var. Good 
                  VF, nice metal, full flan.

                  Hazard writes, ''No subsequent craftsman at the Alexandrine 
                  mint ever showed the same mastery of design and detail as 
                  Delta, and, in the opinion of this writer, he was the greatest 
                  engraver of the Hellenistic Age. So proud was he of his 
                  productions that he signed his initial D . . . in the small 
                  space behind King Ptolemy's ear. Pyrrhus of Epirus and 
                  Seleucus of Syria, both residents of Ptolemy's court, later 
                  used Delta's designs for their own coinages; other Greek 
                  craftsmen also admired Delta and copied his designs at 
                  Ecbatana, Syracuse, Antioch, and other mints over the next 
                  five hundred years.'' Hazard, Ptolemaic Coins, p. 26-27.
