Sicily, Panormos (as Ziz) AR Tetradrachm. Circa 340-310 BC. Charioteer, holding kentron and reins, driving fast quadriga left; above, Nike flying right, crowning charioteer; Punic ṢYṢ (Ziz) in exergue / Wreathed head of female left; four dolphins around, pellet to left. Jenkins, Punic 63 (O17/R50); HGC 2, 1022; SNG Lloyd 1586; Boston MFA 325. 17.16g, 25mm, 5h.
Good Very Fine. Beautiful style. Very Rare.
This magnificent coin, which hails from the final series of tetradrachms produced at Panormos, is found almost without exception in poor condition; this example by contrast is as fine as any that Jenkins could locate while compiling his work on the coinage of Punic Sicily. The style of the engraving displays a level of refined classical beauty that is unmatched in the earlier coinage of this city, and represents the pinnacle of tetradrachm production at Panormos.
