This is a superb example of a silver drachm from the Islands of Thrace, specifically Istros, dating from circa 400-350 B.C. It weighs approximately 5.58 grams and measures 18mm in diameter. Graded by NGC as AU 4/5, with a 3/5 for eye appeal, this coin presents an excellent balance of condition and historical significance.
The obverse typically features a prominent portrait or deity associated with Istros, while the reverse often displays local motifs such as animals, symbols, or mythological imagery that reflect the region’s culture and art.
As a rare and well-preserved piece from Thrace, it offers a unique glimpse into the numismatic and cultural history of this important ancient region. Its high grade and attractive details make it a valuable addition to any collection of Greek or Thracian coinage.
An impressive and desirable example of Thracian silver coinage!
