Lot 3049		The Important Catana Tetradrachm by Herakleidas. A highly important and sought after coin. Very rare. *Signed by Herakleidas.

Sound metal, boldly struck and lightly toned. Very Fine. Estimated Value $15,000 - 25,000. The facing head motif in Greek coinage is quite unusual and, when attempted, seldom produced artistically satisfying results. The dies by the artist Herakleidas for the city-state of Catana represent an exception. The head of Apollo on the obverse is quite sculptural in its representation and displays a three-dimensional quality unparalleled even in the works of Herakleidas' talented contemporaries. The reverse displays a racing quadriga in a highly naturalistic fashion, the head of each horse positioned differently and the charioteer seemingly straining in an attempt to goad his team to victory.
