ITALY. Bruttium. Terina. AR Stater (Nomos) (7.89 gms), ca. 440-425 B.C. NGC Ch EF, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 4/5. Fine Style.

HGC-1, 1730; HN Italy-2575; Regling-9 (dies H/θ). Obverse: Head of the nymph Terina left within laurel wreath; Reverse: Nike seated left on amphora, holding wreath and kerykeion. Tremendously centered on an oval-shaped flan of good metal, this alluringly toned specimen dazzles with beauty and appeal not often encountered for the type. Rather RARE as such, and undoubtedly deserving of immense attention and spirited bidding.

From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection. Ex: Munzen und Medaillen Vlll (12/1949) Lot # 737.
