Greek (Classical). Sikyonia, Sikyon AE Chalkous (14mm, 2.00g, 7h), c. 190-146 BCE.
Obv: Dove flying left, K to left.
Rev: ΣΙ within wreath.
Ref: BCD Peloponnesos 328.11 = Warren No. 8A.13i (Warren, Jennifer, 1984, “The Autonomous Bronze Coinage of Sicyon (Part 2),” Num. Chron. 144: described on p. 8, illustrated on pl. 1, No. 13) [LINK]; HGC 5, 278 (citing BCD 326-329). See also (this coin): Coin Project ID 29479 [LINK].
Prov: Ex BCD Collection; LHS 96 (8 May 2006), Lost 328 (part); Forum Ancient Coins (Joe Sermarini), n.d., GB29479 [LINK].
Notes: The Forum listing gave two different date ranges which actually serve to bookend the widely disparate dates proposed by scholars and dealers: "c. 196 - 146 B.C." in the title and "c. 323 - 251 B.C." in the description. BCD Peloponnesos (cat. by ASW) gave the later range (close to Jennifer Warren's above). The earliest bronzes of this type are usually dated c. 330-320 BCE (e.g., HGC 5, 260 = Warren 1998, 218 = BCD Pelo 313 [LINK]). The style remained remarkably consistent for perhaps 150-180 years, so, until I find the dispute in the literature, I'm guessing that dealers sometimes assign the early date to later coins by mistake.
