Uncertain mint (possibly Tarentum?) AR Tritetartemorion. 5th-4th century BC. Six pointed star with pellets on each arm / Large T with three pellets around. Apparently unpublished, for coins of a similar type cf. Gitbud & Naumann 18, lot 18; cf. Gitbud & Naumann 5, lot 13; cf. Gitbud & Naumann 4, lot 7. 0.64g, 9mm.

Very Fine. Rare and apparently unpublished.

This type bears a reverse of striking similarity to the rare issues of triantes from Tarentum, which bear a shell on the obverse (cf. Vlasto 1195-6; HN Italy 852) or, echoing the reverse, a large T with three pellets around (cf. Vlasto 1189-92; HN Italy 853).
