The decadrachm of Syracuse is one of the most impressive and celebrated silver denominations of classical times, and remains one of the most fascinating masterpieces in numismatic history. With its large module, this coin offered the engravers of Syracuse ample room to express their mastery. After a brief experimental issue in the 460s BC, the decadrachm was reintroduced under the tyrant Dionysius I in 405 BC, marking an ambitious attempt to elevate Syracuse to the capital of the Greek world. Two of the most distinguished local numismatic artists, Kimon and Euainetos, were responsible for creating the coinage for this series, each infusing their own distinctive style into the well-known emblems of Syracuse. The obverse of the coin depicts a quadriga, a four-horse chariot, triumphing in the race, while the reverse shows the head of the beautiful Arethusa, nymph of the spring of Ortygia, surrounded by dolphins. Both engravers were so proud of their work that they signed their coinage, similar to the practice of modern artists. Some of the decadrachm coinage features symbols, such as a shell, in place of the signature, suggesting the involvement of apprentices who emulated the work of the masters.

Nike standing three-quarters to right, erecting a trophy composed of helmet, cuirass and shield on top, greaves at the base; monogram to lower left, triskeles to lower right. HGC 2 1536; Ierardi 103 (O21/R64); BAR Issue 23; Boston MFA 463 = Warren 406 (same dies). AR. 16.91 g. 25 mm. Excellent example, with fine details. Brilliant and lightly toned. Good VF/about EF. This coin cited in M. Ierardi, 'The Tetradrachms of Agathocles of Syracuse: A Preliminary Study' in AJN 7/8 (1995-6), p. 53; Ex Classical Numismatic Group, Auction 114, 13 May 2020, lot 73; Ex Weise Collection, Gemini LLC, Auction I, 11 January 2005, lot 48; Ex F. Sternberg AG, Auction XII, 18 November 1982, lot 78. This piece of high artistic value also holds great historical importance, as it recalls military confrontation between Agathokles and Carthage. The Nike erecting the trophy emphasizes the Syracusan tyrant's victory, a type of reverse that will be long imitated by later Greek coinage.
