Description

This very nice example of a Bithynian Kios coin from circa 325-300 B.C. is a remarkable piece of ancient Greek numismatics. The coin’s design reflects the rich artistic and cultural traditions of Bithynia during this period.

The obverse likely features a portrait or a deity associated with local religious practices, while the reverse is beautifully detailed with a kantharos (a classical drinking vessel) accompanied by clusters of grapes. This imagery symbolizes fertility, abundance, and the importance of wine in Greek social and religious life.

Struck in silver or bronze, this coin exemplifies the craftsmanship and symbolic richness of Bithynian coinage. Its well-preserved condition and intricate design make it a highly desirable piece for collectors interested in Greek city-states and their mythological or social symbolism.

A stunning and meaningful example capturing the artistic and cultural essence of Bithynia during the late Classical period!
