Watch List notes:

Bruttium, Terina. Stater; Bruttium, Terina; c. 440-425 BC, Stater, 7.61g. Holloway/Jenkins-21 (same dies), Regling-21 (same dies). Obv: Head of the nymph Terina l., her hair bound by sphendone wound three times around her head. Rx: Winged Nike seated l., holding [wreath] in extended r. hand and caduceus in lowered l. hand; [TEPINAION] upwards to l. Apparently the only Terina obverse die to show the nymph\'s head bound three times with her sphendone, very similar to the Syracusan reverse die of Boeringer-723 though of course in the style of an engraver from Terina. Very rare, possibly only the seventh recorded specimen, the others being the three in museums reported by Regling, one in a private collection illustrated by Holloway-Jenkins, and two from sale catalogues in the Berk photofile.Rare Issue. When I first purchased this coin, I thought it was a late issue of Terina, because it did not match up with the rest of coinage, which seemed to be rather standardized. Jenkins and Holloway both put this type near the middle of the series, with completely different coins both before and after. This particular issue was struck with only one obverse die. If the two numismatists who wrote the articles were correct, this was a strange experiment at Terina. Small countermark on cheek. VF
