ΣΤΑΣΙΩΝ With Crossed Club and Bow: More Pseudo-Rhodian Drachms From Northern Greece

A large series of pseudo-Rhodian drachms with on the reverse the name-symbol combination ΣΤΑΣΙΩΝ + crossed club and bow and some minor related series are attributed to a mint in northern Greece producing coinage for Perseus during the Third Macedonian War. Plated versions of these coins are regarded as unofficial forgeries rather than products of this mint. The mint is identified, on the basis of newly-observed die-links, as that which produced pseudo-Rhodian drachms with name-symbol combinations ΑΡΙΣΤΟΚΡΑΤΗΣ + club and ΚΑΛΛΙΣΤΡΑΤΟΣ + club, discussed in NC 2002. In an appendix some further, but unrelated, issues of rare pseudo-Rhodian drachms are discussed, rhjashton@hotmail.com.
