Melitaia, Thessaly, ca. 350 BC. AE Chalkous. 14.5mm, 1.89g. Laureate head of Zeus right; thunderbolt behind. M-E above, L-I below, Bee with spread wings. Rogers 394 With permission of cngcoins.com, Triton XV, Lot: 457. Sold for $2200. VF, excellent green patina; a well struck and centred coin of fine style, very rare thus. The silver coinage of Melitaia is only of the first half of the 4th century BC, probably struck in a single episode in the 370s or 360s BC, and is known by two unique pieces, a drachm in Boston and a hemidrachm in Nomos 4, both remarkable for their exceptionally fine style. The bronze is more plentiful and probably dates to somewhat later.
