AI Recommendation
To estimate a maximum purchase price for the coin in question, we can consider several factors based on the provided data:

1. Starting Price: 575.25 euros. This is the initial price set for the auction.
2. Auction History: The coin has been auctioned 19 times, of which it has sold 12 times. This indicates that there is interest in the coin, although there is also a 36.8% chance that it has not sold.
3. Average Starting and Hammer Price: The average starting price is 194.64 euros and the average hammer price is 262.14 euros. This suggests that, in general, coins of this reference tend to sell for a significantly lower price than the current starting price.
4. Condition: The condition of this coin is 85 (Near EF), which indicates that it is in fairly good condition, but not the best possible (FDC).

Given that the starting price is considerably higher than the average hammer price, and considering the condition of the coin, an estimated maximum purchase price could be set in a range that reflects both the quality of the coin and market interest.

Taking all these factors into account, an estimated maximum purchase price could be around 300 to 350 euros. This is based on the fact that, although the starting price is high, the sales history and average hammer price suggest that buyers might be willing to pay a little more than average, but not necessarily the full starting price.

IONIA, Ephesus. Circa 1st-3rd centuries AD. Æ Tessera (17mm, 3.16 g, 12h). KHPIΛICωAЄΠPOCΠAΛYPIN, bee / Stag kneeling left, head right; Є Φ flanking, CKOΠI in exergue. Cf. SNG Copenhagen 355; cf. BMC 186; cf. SNG von Aulock 1875 (all with legend variations). Dark brown patina, minor marks. Choice EF. A superb example of the type, with exceptionally detailed engraving.


From the Michael Rogal Collection. Ex Triton XXVII (9 January 2024), lot 466.

A number of bronze tesserae of the bee/stag type were struck at the cult center of Ephesus, likely during the 1st-3rd centuries AD, and are distinct from the widely varied lead issues from the same city. The legends on these bronzes cannot be translated and are, for the most part, meaningless mystical formulae, but are most likely related to the apotropaic and healing properties attributed to Artemis of Ephesus. (J. Obermajer, “The Tesserae of Ephesos in the History of Medicine,” in Medical History Vol. 12, No. 3 [1966], pp. 292–4).
