Sicily, Kainon. ; Sicily, Kainon; c. 365 BC, AE 21-26, 9.37g. Cf. SNG ANS-1175 and HGC-p. 147. Obv: Griffin flying l., [grasshopper] below. Rx. Horse prancing l., 8-pointed star above, [KAINON] in exergue. Possibly a flip strike: the griffin\'s wing from the first strike reappears above the horse\'s tail of the second strike and the horse\'s forelegs similarly reappear below the griffin on the other side. The cup-shaped fabric of the griffin side suggests that it might be the reverse on this specimen, in which case the flat horse side would be the obverse, rather than vice versa as described in the standard catalogues..
