Description [Image] [Image] The Seleukid Kingdom, Demetrios I, Sorter, 162-150 BC. Silver Tetradrachm Obverse: Head of Demetrios right, diademed. Reverse: Tyche seated left, on throne supported by winged monster (Nereid), holding baton and cornucopiae; Greek legends, Demetrios in left field; monogram to left. Be Sure to click on hyperlinks for more information! Condition: Good VF. Coin is better than picture. This coin has excellent metal with good surfaces on a large flan. It is a light silver color with just a hint of reddish iridescence toning in the protected areas of upper obverse field surrounding the portrait and the legends. The artistic rendition of Demetrios is excellent. It is quite realistic. The strike is very good for these. It has nice relief on a 3.9 mm thick, 32.9 mm flan. See an enlargement of the obverse below. Centering is excellent on both sides. The only fault for the coin is the weak wreath on the obverse. Check out this small picture of this coin: ensmallment of the coin. This is a very attractive example of Demetrios I. Be Sure to click on hyperlinks for more information! Valuation: Why Valuation? This is a ruler whose coins are notoriously not found in decent condition, especially the obverse, let alone artistic. Compare to CNG 55, lot 674, a near EF which was estimated at $400 and sold for $600 + 60 = $660. While lot 674 has nice style and less wear, notice that the ear is worn (or softly struck) into the head band. The coin on auction here has a nicely defined ear. This coin has great style, very decent state of preservation, and has a great portrait. Size: 16.63 grams, die axis=0.5, flan 3.9 mm thick, 32.9 mm in diameter.
