Thourioi, Lucania, Italy, 443 - 400 B.C.
|Italy|, |Thourioi,| |Lucania,| |Italy,| |443| |-| |400| |B.C.|, Dies possibly signed by the artist. Historia Numorum notes that "there is no certainty as to the identity of Libys, whether engraver or mint official." The Λ on the obverse likely also refers to Libys and the I (off flan) could also be part of his name or a die control letter. In any case, the superb style and execution of these dies was worthy of signature by the master artist who created them.
