KINGS of BOSPOROS. Polemo I. Circa 15/4-9/8 BC. Æ 7 Units (20.5mm, 6.58 g, 1h). Posthumous issue, circa 9/8 BC-AD 9/10(?). Head of Perseus left, wearing winged helmet; harpa to left / Herm; royal monogram to left, filleted palm branch and Z (mark of value) to right. Frolova & Ireland Series 4, Type XIX, dies A/e (unlisted combination); Anokhin 1358; MacDonald 247; cf. RPC I p. 331. VF, brown surfaces, pit on obverse, edge a bit ragged.The years following the death of Asander until the accession of Aspourgos were a politically unstable time to judge from the scant historical record. Frolova places this issue between the death of Polemo and accession of Aspourgos, and Macdonald notes (p. 54): "Bronze coins bearing the monogram of Polemo exist in so many varieties that it is difficult to imagine all were issued during Polemo's short period of direct rule in the Bosporus, circa 14-8 BC. Bronze coins with Polemo I's monogram may have continued to have been issued even after his death, possibly as late as AD 9/10."

MYSIA, Pergamon. Circa 166-67 BC. AR Tetradrachm (26.5mm, 12.64 g, 12h). Cistophoric type. Struck circa 98-95 BC. Cista mystica within ivy wreath / Two serpents entwined around bow and bowcase; ΛY above, civic monogram to left, serpent-entwined thrysos to right. Kleiner, Hoard 16; Pinder 97; SNG BN 1721. VF, struck with worn obverse die.Recent scholarship has reframed the Attalid cistophori from a series emblematic of a closed monetary system, a theory proposed by earlier scholars, to a revolutionary coinage that defines an innovation in the structure of the Attalid state. Following the defeat of the Gauls in 166 BC, Eumenes II dramatically reorganized his kingdom. Civic structure now became the backbone of the state, with large amounts of money being spent to more thoroughly incorporate rural areas into the urban Pergamene kingdom. Key to this was the new cistophoric coinage, which was struck at a lower weight than the common Attic standard, to ensure circulation only within the kingdom. Andrew Meadows writes of the cistophoric issues: "This was a coinage designed to look federal, rather than royal. The king's image was removed in favour of creating the impression of civic unity across clearly defined and identified space. Since the 'mintmarks' that appear on a number of these coinages do not in fact designate sites of production, we might speculate that their inclusion was at least partly an element of the ideological programme."

IONIA, Teos. Circa 425-412 BC. AR Stater (24mm, 11.78 g). Griffin seated right, raising forepaw; bee above / Quadripartite incuse square. Matzke –; Balcer Group LXXVI, 133 (A133/P– [unlisted rev. die]); SNG Copenhagen –; BMC 20 (same obv. die). VF, lightly toned, area of flat strike, short hairline flan crack, light cleaning marks. Rare.Balcer originally placed this issue among a series he dated to the second period of Athenian control over Teos, circa 412-407 BC, but Kinns (pp. 163–4) noted the conjectural nature of this attribution, and noted numerous stylistic features that were contiguous from the prior group of staters. Thus, the break in coinage noted by Balcer is certainly incorrect, and this coinage must directly succeed the prior issues dated circa 450-425 BC.
