SICILY. Syracuse. Deinomenid Tyranny, 485-466 B.C. AR Tetradrachm (17.27 gms), struck under Hieron I, ca. 475-470 B.C. NGC Ch AU★, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 5/5.
HGC-2, 1307; Boehringer-305 (V146/R212); Randazzo Hoard-470 (same dies). Obverse: Charioteer, holding kentron and reins, driving quadriga right; above, crowning Nike flying right; Reverse: Diademed head of Arethousa right; four dolphins around. Incredibly well centered and struck, this alluring specimen presents a rather deep cabinet tone and hints of brilliance emanating from the fields. Meanwhile, hardly any evidence of handling is noted, and the level of detail on the portrait of Arethousa is virtually unrivaled.
From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection.
Estimate: $2000 - $4000
