| Beschrijving keerzijde | A double stellate pattern composed of incuse squares arranged in a concentric geometric design, forming a distinctive double linear square within a double linear border, all contained within a linear circle. This deeply incuse punch typifies the archaic reverse treatment common to early Pontic silver issues, with the radiating angular design creating a striking symmetrical ornamental effect. The Greek inscription appears in the field between the geometric elements. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Apollonia Pontica, a Milesian colony on the western Black Sea coast, struck these staters as a major commercial currency for the grain and timber trade routes running between Thrace and the Aegean. The city's prosperity depended almost entirely on controlling that corridor, and its coinage reflects the confidence of a port that could afford to maintain high silver standards well into the Hellenistic period.
SNG Copenhagen 370 places this piece within a well-documented but not abundant series. Die studies by Topalov identified meaningful variation across the anchor types, and collectors conflating related issues should consult that work before attributing.
