GREEK, Italy, CALABRIA, Taras. AR Nomos. Circa 400-390 BC.
7.88 gms
Vlasto-331; HN Italy-850. 
Obverse: Nude youth, holding whip, on horse rearing left; Λ below; 
Reverse: Phalanthos, holding aphlaston, on dolphin left. 
An EXTREMELY RARE earlier issue, this example features even wear but some rather attracting gray tone throughout. 
This particular obverse appears to be used only on Vlasto-331, which the author notes as being "presumed unique," a clear indicator of the the rarity of the type.
