AR Nomos of Neapolis, Campania c340-241 BC
OBV: Head of nymph facing right, bunch of grapes(?) to left
REV:  Man-faced Bull walking right, Victory overhead crowning with wreath.

Sambon 436, SNG ANS 366,  weight 7.3 gms;  18 mm

A coin which has all the things that I like about the ancient Greeks - beautiful sense of natural form, balanced design, and whimsical imagination. The small flan cuts off some elements of the overall design and put it in range of my budget.

An excellent coin.

yes, a nice one indeed, and still better centered than many of these.

The figure above the man-faced bull is exceptionally clear, but a modern hand has re-engraved the left side of the man-faced bull's face.
