SOLD $320
PELOPONNESOS, Elis, Olympia, 132nd-134th Olympiad, (c.250’s-240’s B.C.), silver hemidrachm, (2.28 grams), obv. Zeus Olympios bearded head crowned with olive wreath to right, rev, thunderbolt within olive wreath, within and across F A below, (S.2897, BCD [Leu 90] 228 [p.71, similar dies] and 335.5 [same dies], cf.BMC 139). Lightly toned, nearly very fine and rare, with tickets.
Ex BCD Collection, unlisted in Leu 90 catalogue, previously from the W.P. Wallace Collection. The reduced weight hemidrachms were issued in large quantities. This example could be slightly earlier as the wreath parallels issues from 276-260 but appears to lack the additional ethnic API.
