Bruttium, Terina didrachm/Stater
Head of the nymph Terina left, hair tightly rolled in ampyx, with necklace, all within olive wreath 

Nike seated left on hydria (amphora), holding wreath and kerykeion TEPINAION in left field.

Terina, Bruttium

445-425 BCE

6.43g

Regling, Terina 13 (dies K/λ); Kunstfreund 75 (same dies - prior to the die break); Holloway & Jenkins 14, N. Italy 2575. Sear 506. 

Ex-Astarte YCA #2, lot 14

Regling's monograph from 1906 was the first die study of any Greek coinage to be published.  The obverse die break is known from at least 4 other specimans (Roma, CNG, Nomos, Seaby's Coin & Medal bulletin April 1975, A236 and front cover) all sharing the same obverse and reverse dies.  Further examination could possibly help place the coins in chronological order of striking based on die wear.  

I missed out acquiring the Seaby coin when it was auctioned at the Geoffry Bell Toronto Coin Auction in 2017.  Since then I've been on the lookout for one of these coins with the die break.  7 years later, I finally added one to my collection.
