SICILY. Siculo-Punic. Entella. AR Tetradrachm (17.49 gms), ca. 300-289 B.C. NGC Ch AU, Strike: 3/5 Surface: 4/5.
HGC-2, 295. Obverse: Head of Herakles right, wearing lion skin; Reverse: Head of horse left; palm tree to right; [Punic legend below]. Very little evidence of handling exists on this boldly executed and shining specimen, demonstrating tremendous appeal on account of its wonderous luster. Few pieces of this type survive in this condition, making it a virtual certainty that is Tetradrachm will be hotly contested at auction.
Estimate: $1000 - $2000
