ITALY. Lucania. Thurium. AR Stater (Nomos) (6.25 gms), ca. 280-250 B.C. NGC Ch VF, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 4/5. Brushed.
cf. HN Italy-1891 (head right). Obverse: Head of Athena left, wearing crested helmet decorated with griffin; Reverse: Bull butting right; ethnic above. A RARE variant, this type is unlisted in the standard references. A bright example, its surfaces offer well-centered detail with minimal circulation.
