Watch List notes:

LUCANIA. Metapontum. Circa 330-290 BC. Didrachm or nomos (Silver, 20 mm, 7.93 g, 7 h). Head of Demeter to left, wearing grain wreath, triple pendant earring and pearl necklace; below chin, ΔΩPI. Rev. ΜΕΤΑ Ear of barley with leaf to left; above leaf, rake; below leaf, ΑΔ. HN III 1582. Johnston Class C, 5.4 (same dies). SNG ANS 452 (same obverse die). Nicely struck. Traces of die rust, corrosion and a die break over the ethnic on the reverse, otherwise, good very fine.


The axis 7 tells us that the person who minted this coin held the reverse die with his left hand and used the hammer with his right hand. So he was definitely right-handed like most of us.
