KINGS OF MACEDON. Antigonos II Gonatas, 277/6-239 BC. Hemiobol (Bronze, 22 mm, 5.67 g, 9 h), contemporary imitation, uncertain mint. Helmeted head of Athena to right. Rev. B A Pan right, erecting trophy to right; below legs Antigonos monogram. HGC 3.1, 1049. SNG Copenhagen -. Unusual style; possibly an early Celtic imitation. With an attractive, brownish-gold toning.
