Beschrijving voorzijde A nude ithyphallic satyr rendered in high relief strides to the right in the archaic running-kneeling pose, carrying a struggling nymph in his arms. The satyr, depicted with a heavily bearded face and pointed ears, grasps the nymph firmly across her torso; she is shown draped and twisting in resistance. The composition is vigorous and dynamic, characteristic of the early Thasian coinage, filling the entire circular field without legend or inscription.

Aanvullende informatie

Thasos built its archaic wealth almost entirely on two resources: the silver mines of the Thracian mainland opposite the island, and a wine trade aggressive enough that Thasian amphorae have been excavated across the entire eastern Mediterranean. These staters were the commercial instrument of that economy, circulating widely through Thrace and into the northern Aegean networks before Athens began muscling into the same trade routes mid-century.

The SNG Copenhagen and Dewing references here suggest a well-documented die tradition, though attribution between #1010 and #1011 often hinges on minor differences in the satyr's rendering detectable only under magnification.
