ITALY. Lucania. Sybaris. AR Stater (Nomos) (8.19 gms), ca. 550-510 B.C. NGC Ch AU, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 3/5. Fine Style.
Gorini-2; HN Italy-1729. Obverse: Bull standing left, head right; VM in exergue; Reverse: Incuse bull standing right, head left. Rather elegant style for these early, archaic, and fairly crude types, this handsome specimen presents steely gray surfaces with a good deal of lustrous brilliance remaining. A hint of strike doubling is noted on the reverse, but in no way detracts from the overall beauty and charm.
Estimate: $4000.00- $6000.00
