Near EF. Newell, Dated 27 is referenced by Price 3270, but that is an erroneous entry based off of Newell's assumption that the date on the coins he inspected was year 27 (he noted that the date on all of the coins he saw was off the flan). Since Newell's die study, however, several staters using his obverse die K have appeared, including the BM coin that Price illustrates for his no. 3257, clearly showing the date to be year 23. As such, Newell, Dated 27 actually corresponds to Price 3257, which previously had no reference to Newell's die study.

A couple of tiny spots of die rust. Choice EF. Well struck. From the Wild Rose Collection.This beautiful gold stater belongs to the period following the death of Alexander the Great when his half-brother, Philip III Arrhidaios, was the nominal head of state together with the conqueror's infant son by Roxane, Alexander IV. The gem-like delicacy of the engraving of these extraordinary dies singles this issue out as belonging to one of the mints of the Ionian coastal region of western Asia Minor, an area which, of course, was not controlled by the Macedonian monarchy in the time of Philip II. Kolophon is the city to which it is tentatively attributed, the tripod symbol linking it to an issue in the name of Philip III (cf. Price P41).
