Obv: Bull standing left, head right; V M in exergue.Rev: Incuse bull standing right, head left.HN Italy 1729; SNG ANS 828-44; HGC 1, 1231.The Greek colonial presence on the coasts of southern Italy and in Sicily generated very important cities and significant coin productions, initially characterized by the “incuse coin phenomenon,” which featured reverse types equal to obverse types, but in negative instead of relief. This was not simply an embossed worked foil, but an actual minting process, which involved the use of a reverse die with types rendered in relief. Various hypotheses have been advanced over time regarding this choice; there was probably a desire on the part of the Magna Graecia cities to differentiate these coins from those produced by the other Greek mints. Moreover, it could have been an expedient that made overstruck difficult, thus avoiding one of the possible causes of coin migration to places far from the issuing centers. This coin type was clearly intended for a local Magna Graecia market, as the hoards data show. Hence the existence of a circulation area controlled by the Magnogrean cities is assumed. The coinage of Sybaris is based on the “Achaean-Corinthian” weight system, with a stater of 7.80-8g, divided into three drachms, also used by Tarentum and other colonies of Achaean origin, such as Metapontion, Kroton and Kaulonia. The destruction of the city by Croton in 510 is a very important chronological term. Sybaris must have begun minting incuse coinage around 530 and may have been the first to introduce this type of coinage. The emblem chosen by the city is the bull with head reverted, found in an abundance of issues with different fractions (Drachms, Triobols and Obols). Condition: Good very fine.Weight: 7.69 g.

The city stood on a summit overlooking the Belice valley. Records are scarce until the arrival of the Campanian mercenaries, recruited in 410 BC by the Carthaginians and discharged after the 405 BC treaty, then passed into the pay of Dionysius I of Syracuse. After liberating Dionysius on the island of Ortigia from the Punic siege, the were discharged with rich gifts and settled in various cities on the island. In 404 a group of these mercenaries seized Entella, exterminating the entire male population, and began to mint their own coinage. From then on they implemented a generally pro-Carthaginian policy and, in 398 B.C., were able to stop Syracusan siege attempts with the help of the Punic. The strategic location of the fortress of Entella was coveted for its control of the valley below, and this led to several siege attempts: in 345 it was attacked by the Carthaginians led by General Annon, then in 342 the city was taken by the Syracusans commanded by Timoleon, but in 338 it fell back under Punic influence. During the First Punic War the city was destroyed by the Carthaginians. The “Decrees of Entella,” which were requests for help engraved on bronze slabs, from the inhabitants to neighboring cities, date from this period. In 263 Entella was conquered by the Romans and enjoyed a new period of prosperity until the second century BC when it was abandoned. Condition: Very fine.Weight: 16.76 g. Diameter: 23 mm.

In Asia Minor electrum coins were still struck in three mints (Kyzikos, Mytilene and Phokaia) until the Athenian hegemony that followed the victory over the Persians. In 405 BC the issue of Lampsakos gold staters based on the Persian weight system began. Athens produced the first and only precious metal issues toward the end of the Peloponnesian War, in 407-6 BC, at a time of severe crisis when silver mining in Laurion began to fail and it was forced to melt down the Parthenon's gold statues. Aside from these cases, the first important and massive gold coinage in the Greek context was that of Philip II of Macedon. He minted abundant series of coins in several mints. Having conquered the city of Krenides, where the Thasians had already exploited gold mines, Philip renamed the city Philippi and started the production of philippéioi, gold staters weighing two Attic drachms. Apollo's youthful head appears on the obverse, a galloping chariot on the reverse, types glorifying the Macedonian ruler who had triumphed at the Olympian Games in 356 BC. The series also includes fractions. Condition: Fine.Weight: 8.53 g. Diameter: 17 mm.
