Ancient Greek – Phrygia, Laodicea Bronze Moon-hanger from Laodicea – Apollo and the Tripod (No reserve price)

Ancient Greek Bronze Coin Pendant from Laodicea – Apollo and Tripod
This bronze coin from the ancient Laodicea in Phrygia shows on the obverse the right-facing head of Apollo with a laurel wreath. On the reverse stands a tripod, a ceremonial three-legged stand closely associated with Apollo, with the Greek inscription ΛΑΟΔΙΚΕΩΝ referring to the inhabitants of Laodicea.
The refined portrait and the distinctive tripod give this coin a remarkable classical appearance. The coin has later been converted into a pendant.
