Lot # 40 - Sicily. Akragas. Tetradrachm. Circa 409-406 BC (Silver, 26mm, 17.43 g, 12h). Nike driving fast quadriga left, holding kentron and reins; on tablet above, AKPAΓ / ИO - ИITИA (ON off tablet); in exergue, club. Rev. ΣIΛA - [NOΣ], Two eagles right, one raising head and screaming, the other with head lowered, both perched on dead hare which lies upon a rock. Westermark 596 (O7/R12). Seltman, NC 1948, 16a (these dies). SNG Ashmolean 1676 (these dies). HGC 2, 86. Lightly and nicely toned. Of masterly style, with the reverse die signed by Silanos. A full Good Very Fine. Extremely Rare. This tetradrachm, struck in the final years before the Carthaginian destruction of Akragas in 406 BC, belongs to a brief but extraordinary phase in the city’s coinage—arguably the pinnacle of its artistic achievement. From the sixth century BC, Akragas had consistently featured the eagle and crab as civic symbols, but after 420 BC, these static motifs were transformed into vivid, dramatic compositions. Most notable is the depiction of two eagles devouring a hare, likely inspired by the omen in Aeschylus’ Agamemnon, where the birds, representing Agamemnon and Menelaos, foreshadow the destruction of Troy. This image becomes a chilling parallel to Akragas’ own fate. The coins of this period—silver dekadrachms, gold issues, and tetradrachms like this one—are among the finest in the Greek world, with some dies attributed to master engravers such as Kimon and Silanos. While traditionally associated with the Olympic victory of Exainetos in 412 BC, it is more plausible that these issues were produced as part of Akragas’ preparations for war against Carthage. Whatever their purpose, they represent the apex of Akragantine numismatic art—an apex never reached again. The city’s destruction did not merely end its independence; it brought a permanent close to its artistic legacy.

Struck under Syracusan rule, this finely executed tetradrachm from Leontini reflects both artistic mastery and civic assertion. The slow quadriga and Apollo’s laurel-crowned head echo Syracusan models, while the lion—appearing on both sides—serves as a proud punning emblem of the city. The design is deeply influenced by the celebrated “Demareteion Master,” though some scholars argue for a later hand working in his style. Regardless, the result is one of the finest examples of early Sicilian numismatic art, blending realism, symbolism, and political nuance in a coin of striking beauty and power.
