Katane, Sicily, c. 2nd - 1st Century B.C.
|Katane|, |Katane,| |Sicily,| |c.| |2nd| |-| |1st| |Century| |B.C.|, This type was probably first struck, in fine style, in the 3rd century, probably shortly before Roman rule was established in 212 B.C. This and some other examples, appear to be part of a later issue, struck under Roman rule, imitating the earlier type, but with a cruder style. Despite HGC listing it only as scarce, both the finer style and this cruder style appear to be very rare.
