Carefully selected original antiquities for collectors and historians
Struck in the ancient city of Sardes in Lydia during the late Hellenistic period, this bronze coin reflects the civic identity and religious traditions of western Anatolia in the 1st–2nd century BC.
The obverse depicts a laureate head of Apollo, one of the most revered deities of the Greek world, associated with prophecy, harmony, and healing. His image was frequently chosen for civic coinage as a symbol of divine protection and cultural continuity.
The reverse features a club, a powerful emblem commonly linked to Herakles and symbolic of strength and endurance. Such imagery was deeply rooted in local tradition and widely recognized across Asia Minor.
A compact bronze issue well suited to collectors of Greek civic coinage, offering a tangible link to the everyday monetary circulation of Hellenistic Lydia.
