Lot 67: Pontos, Amisos (as Peiraieos). Ca. 435-370 B.C. AR siglos. Persic standard. Aris, magistrate.

Pontos, Amisos (as Peiraieos). Ca. 435-370 B.C. AR siglos (19 mm, 5.64 g, 3 h). Persic standard. Aris, magistrate. Head of Hera left, wearing stephane, earring, and necklace / [ΠEIPA] in exergue, owl with spread wings standing facing on shield; in left field, grain ear; across inner field, AP-Z above H-Γ. Cf. Malloy 1t; cf. RG 1; cf. SNG BM 1056. Probably a contemporary imitation. Good very fine. 

With the unusual style of the obverse and the engraving error of the magistrate on the reverse, this is probably a contemporary imitation rather than an official mint product.
