Some old hairlines in obverse peripheries. Lovely, soft iridescent highlights. Choice Very Fine. The didrachms of Tarentum exhibit a bewildering number of variations on the basic theme of horseman / Taras astride dolphin.

The handsome bearded head adorning the obverse of this fourth century Metapontine stater is that of Leukippos.

The artist "Φ" here may be the master engraver Phrygillos, who is believed to have worked at Thourioi. Phrygillos is known for his signed dies at Syrakuse, and his work has also been identified at Terina. The bird below the bull on the reverse of this coin could then be considered a pun on his name, for phrygillos is Greek for "finch." Estimated Value $15,000 - 18,000. Ex Leu 81, 16 May 2001, lot 26; Nelson Bunker Hunt Collection II (Sotheby's) 21 June 1990, lot 204; Numismatic Fine Arts X, Sept. 17, 1981, lot 19; Bank Leu 25, 23 April 1980, lot 38.

Reverse: MEΣ - Σ - A - N - IO - N. Hare springing right; below, fly right. Caltabiano 479 (D196/R190); SNG ANS 375 (same dies). Lightly toned with sharp relief. Choice Very Fine. Of particular interest to entomologists, this late fifth century BC tetradrachm of Messana features a prominent representation of a fly as its symbol beneath the bounding hare. Another variety depicts a locust. The mule-car probably derives from the victory in that event of Anaxilas, tyrant of Rhegium and Messana, in the Olympian games of 484 or 480 BC. Messana originally bore the name of Zancle (Sickle) from the shape of its harbor but this was changed about 488 BC when Anaxilas installed there a large body of Messanian immigrants from the Peloponnese. Estimated Value $3,000 - 4,000. The Hunter Collection. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $4,025

Cahn 100 (V66/R82); SNG ANS 524; SNG Lloyd 1156; Gulbenkian 232 (same dies); Kraay-Hirmir 8-9; Jameson 677; Ward 225. Minor porosity in isolated areas. Very Rare. Nearly Extremely Fine/Very Fine. One of the most sought after and famous of ancient Greek coins, this coin is known only from one obverse die and five reverse dies. A short-lived issue, it was likely produced for a specific purpose. During this time Naxos, the oldest of the Greek colonies in Sicily, actively supported Athens, notably with the Sicilian expedition of 427 BC. This coin thus may have been struck in connection with these events. Showing a final transition from the earlier Aitna Master Tetradrachms which still exhibited the rigidity of design typical of the archaic, this coin shows true classical style. Dionysos' features are very natural: his hair tousled, his eye correct, the conventional archaic smile gone - replaced by relaxed lips; and his diadem less formalized. The reverse, which alludes to the source of Naxos' prosperity and power: wine production, depicts a very lifelike Silenos. Heeding far more closely the traditional description of the wisest, oldest and most drunken of Dionysos' Silenoi, half-man, half-goat followers, the engraver presents a somewhat disheveled Silenos with a round and balding head, curving, flowing beard, and some paunch.

Scharmer, "Die Meister der spatarchaischen Arethusakopfe," AK 10 (1967), pp. 94-95, pl. 28, 1 (same reverse die). Trivial earthen deposits. Soft gray toning and deeply struck on a broad flan.
