Savoca Numsmatik, 18th Silver (Munich, 8 Oct 2017), 153.
Publication: W. Fischer-Bossert Group 2, No. 10 (V 5’’/R 9, this coin) in “Die Elektronhekten mit dem Herakleskopf” (2020, Numismatische Zeitschrift 126: 15-164), described on page 89 & illustrated on page 156. Fischer-Bossert provides extensive and compelling evidence for reattributing the type from Erythrae to Heraclea-Pontica. A splendid die study.

Sammlung Gert Cleff [Giessener Münzhandlung Gorny Auction 97 (11 Oct 1999), Lot 376; Gorny & Mosch EA 288 (27 Jul 2022), Lot 3].
Published: J. Nollé & A. Wenninger (1998, JNG 48), p.67, Th5a (this coin cited);
H. C. von Mosch (2022, JNG 72), “Die vielen Gesichter der Lykomidai. Themistokles und Archepolis in Magnesia und Athen,” p. 71, 11d (this coin cited).
Note: Despite initially accepting H. Cahn’s position, scholars seemed to quickly side w/ Nollé and Wenninger that Hephaestus is portrayed rather than Themistokles himself. (Incidentally, in my library, I have the offprint of Nollé’s first paper on the topic, signed & inscribed to his future-coauthor, Alois Wenninger, who first identified the Themistokles coinage!)
As I see it, though, the unusual presence of the “Θ-Ε” on both sides of this coin demands a better explanation than Nollé et al. have given. Combined with evidence of his sculptural portraits, I think it’s worth considering that it may be Themistokles’ portrait (or, at least, Themistokles in the guise of Hephaestus).
Now, the newest entry from the pro-Themistokles faction: Hans Christoph von Mosch’s (2022) article in JNG 72 argues in favor of Cahn’s position. I’ve only begun reading/translating it (my German isn’t great!). I look forward to seeing how it is received by other scholars….
If correct, I believe that might make this the first numismatic portrait of a living person!

Note: My copy of Winzer ex Bibliothek Alois Wenninger (w/ his monogram):

A remarkable detail: Axel Winzer interpreted the reverse as a Sphinx, rather than a Pegasos, because he viewed it from the “wrong” orientation. (Then again, who is to say that the Sphinx isn’t also “really” there? I see it.) Rotated 90′ clockwise, as in his plate above, this specimen does look remarkably like a Sphinx (assisted by this specimen’s rather poor preservation). Interestingly, in either orientation (as Pegasos or Sphinx), the same feature appears as wings, as with the forelegs. (Only the head and body are switched.) The same perceptual phenomenon (but deliberate) is a central feature of Celtic numismatic art.

Notes: An example of particular intellectual value (if not commercial) for having been included in several important collections near the center of a decades-long debate, and individually attributed to at least three different mints (Myndos, Mygissos, Mylasa) by its different catalogers (and others when published in scholarly numismatic literature). Fortunately, Konuk’s (2022) excellent new contribution (“MY Stands for Mylasa” in Presbeus [Essays Ashton]) should finally settle the debate!

Published: Historia Numorum Online (HNO Caria) 1474.2 (this coin illustrated, “digital plate coin”).
Notes: As in other dealer-collector “estates” (e.g., J. Hirsch), there is no strict differentiation between collection & inventory. In this case, though, it seems clear Cederlind collected this type; his estate included no fewer than 13 (incl. at least one other ex Slg. Karien, most also illustrated in HNO Caria). Genuinely remarkable specimen for this type.

See also: this coin (cited) in Goldman (2000), “The Sign of the Lily … (Part II),” Shnaton 12: page 107, note 9.
Notes: Coin-in-hand video (23.5s – imgur).
* Both von Aulock (this coin) and Levante (SNG 217) identified the obv. head as female. More recently, however, ASW et al. cataloged this coin (CsP II 914) as “Youthful male head facing.” Their reasoning is explained in Nomos Obolos 33, 579-580:
“The obverse type is commonly described as a facing female head, but the lion skin tied around the neck–an extremely clear feature on this coin–indicates that the head is really that of a young Herakles. No doubt he is the Hellenized version of the old Hittite deity Sandan who continued to be worshiped at Tarsos into the Roman period.”
If Herakles, this coin would make an interesting complement to the contemporary Cilician Obol of type Levante 220, showing the same pair but with Herakles bearded & Aphrodite veiled, and switching their profile orientations and obv./rev. placement.
(See also Haymann [Slg. “de Face” 1278], who agrees the figure is male, but suggested Apollo.)
Interestingly, although Mildenberg owned this coin, on multiple occasions he instead used SNG Levante 217-8 when publishing this type (incl. in his contrib. to Pour Denyse [2000]).

* The est. price is 2.5X higher in the 2nd ed. (from $100 to $250)! (Interestingly, Elberling’s Antoninus-Salus Sestertius, decreased by the same factor between Cohen 1868 (10 Fr.) & 1882 (4 Fr.) eds.)
Notes: A fascinating overstrike with visible Flavian bust, probably a “Judaea Capta” issue of Agrippa II struck in Caesarea Paneas, 75/6 CE. In my opinion, the undertype is RPC II 2285 and the bust of Titus is a die match to example 7 (ex Galst).
