CIMMERIAN BOSPOROS. Pantikapaion. Circa 370-355 BC. Hemidrachm (Silver, 14 mm, 2.56 g, 9 h). Head of a bearded satyr facing, turned very slightly to the left, with animal ears and wearing an ivy wreath. Rev. ΠΑΝΤΙ Lion attacking a stag to right. HGC 7, 65. MacDonald 42. SNG BM Black Sea 860. SNG Stancomb 536. Very rare and of exceptionally fine Classical style. Struck on a short flan, but still well-centered, otherwise, good very fine. The astounding quality of this rare coin implies that it was minted for a special occasion, or perhaps just as a donative to be used by whoever financed the issue.
