Taras, Calabria
|
385-380 BC.
AR Obol (9mm, 0.48g).
O: Head of nymph Satyra right.
R: Three crescents facing outward around central pellet.
D'Andrea XXII, 405; Vlasto ----; HN Italy 924v (head left)
Very Rare
ex Savoca Coins
A rare and previously unpublished variety with the nymph facing right. Vlasto knew of only the left-facing type, and his specimen may have been unique.
I’ve gone with Vlasto’s dating on this one, although based on style I believe this should probably be revised to a slightly later date.
