Sicily, 'Kainon' Æ22. Circa 340-330 BC. Winged eagle-griffin springing left, cicada below to left / Horse prancing left, trailing rein; KAINON in exergue. Campana 1; CNS 1; HGC 2, 509; SNG ANS 1169; AMB 309 (all as Kainon). 9.93g, 22mm, 9h.
Very Fine.
From the inventory of a European dealer.
Not identifiable with a known mint in Sicily, the Kainon issues have traditionally been attributed to Alaisa. However, the different fabric of several issues suggests that they were struck at more than one mint, perhaps by mercenaries in the employ of Dione of Leontini.
