ΑΠΟΛΛΩ ΕΚΑΤΟС ΙΛΙΕΩΝ Apollo standing front, head to left, holding laurel branch in his right hand and leaning left on tripod. Bellinger T169 = RPC IV online 105.1 (
same dies
). SNG Leypold 478 (
same dies
). Extremely rare, perhaps only the fourth known example and a very interesting type. Light pitting on the obverse and with some minor deposits
, otherwise,
good very fine.
From the S. Pozzi Collection, ex Münzen und Medaillen FPL 371, September 1975, 31.
Hekatos literally means 'the far-shooter', which refers to Apollo's ability to strike enemies with his celebrated bow. It is thus a bit surprising to find this epithet on a coin that shows us a decidedly relaxed Apollo, who holds not a bow but a laurel branch and leans at ease on a tripod.
