Sicily, Syracuse AR Dilitron. Time of Timoleon and the Third Democracy, circa 343-317 BC. ΣYPΑΚΟΣΙΩΝ, laureate janiform female head; dolphin in right field / Horse galloping to right, sun above. SNG ANS 1183 corr. (direction of horse); HGC 2, 1374 var. (direction of horse). 1.11g, 12mm, 12h.
Extremely Fine; wonderful old cabinet tone and in magnificent condition for the type. Extremely Rare; seemingly no other examples of this variety present on CoinArchives.
Acquired from Dr. Busso Peus Nachfolger.
This issue is lighter than the typical circa 1.5 gram standard, and is similar in weight to the example in SNG ANS (1.02g). It has previously been described as a trihemilitron, but to have issued a distinct denomination of such similar weight and types seems counterintuitive.
