Ex BCD Collection (Triton IX, lot 629r illustrated). BCD notes that it is an earlier issue, using the obverse typical of many Macedonian coins of this period. An issue from a magistrate in bronze that has no known corresponding silver issues. It fits into this period of die-linking discontinuity among the staters better than anywhere else.
