Lot # 145 - Central Italy, possibly Campania. Circa first half of 2nd - 1st centuries BC. Unofficial Pseudo-Coin. (Struck Lead Alloy, 20.5 mm, 3.87 g). Head of Vulcan right, wearing wreathed pileus and with tongs on shoulder. Rev. Furnacator in short tunic, fallus hanging down, advancing right and holding shovel; before, askos. HN Italy -. Stannard 2007 (LOC), series 59, no. 618 - 23.041 (only one specimen). Stannard, "Apollo and the little man with the strigils, and the Italo-Baetican iconography", 2020, pl.5, n. 12. Old cabinet toned. Minor areas of flattening. Otherwise, Good Very Fine. Embarrassingly Rare - possibly the second specimen known - with no example recorded at auction in the last quarter of a century.   From a collection of ancient lead tokens, assembled since the late 1960s.   This rare pseudo-coin belongs to an unofficial Italic series studied by Clive Stannard, first identified in the river deposits of the Liri near Minturnae. These pieces are notable for their striking and unusual iconography. On the obverse of this specimen appears Vulcan, unmistakably associated with hard manual labor. The reverse features a seminude stoker at work, his short tunic lifted to reveal his genitals - a raw, almost defiant image of the physical reality of toil. Related bronze issues from the same series depict similar figures, as well as strigils and other implements of the gymnasium or, more precisely, the bath complex. These pieces reflect themes of work, purification, and public life. Communal baths - often founded by generous benefactors - anchor the social and ritual context in which these tokens circulated. They speak to a world of trade, routine, and collective identity shaped at the margins of formal state control. Ultimately, these popular - or to use a modern term, proletarian - pseudo-coins were the everyday currency of those who kept the baths running: most likely slaves. In their bold imagery and function, they express not just utility, but a kind of pride: currencies made by the working class, for the working class.

Very Rare and among the finest specimens known.   From a Swiss collection, formed before 2005.   The ear was Metapontum’s emblem, reflecting the central role of agriculture in the city’s economy, with barley as its principal crop and hallmark. The dolphin, a recurring motif in Greek coastal iconography, symbolized the city’s maritime identity and prosperity. Nestled between the Ionian Sea and two rivers, Metapontum relied on the sea for trade and sustenance; the dolphin thus conveyed protection, good fortune, and safe navigation. In Greek mythology, it was also sacred to Apollo, further underscoring its association with guidance and salvation.

SNG ANS 816 (this reverse die) = Mangieri, RIN 1981, D25 on pl. IV. Lightly toned. Minor scratches on obverse and scattered cleaning marks. Well struck. Extremely Fine. Exceedingly Rare, with an unpublished obverse die.   From a Swiss collection, formed before 2005.   The retrospicient bull was chosen as a symbol by Sybaris in ancient Greece because it represented fertility and strength, qualities attributed both to the animal and to the river Krathis, which was personified in the shape of the bull. The image of the bull with its head turned backward, recurrent on Sybarite coins, was therefore a reference to the vitality of the waters that made the city rich and prosperous, as well as a symbol of power and protection for the community. Looking backward symbolizes the connection to origins, to the land and the past, while also reflecting a conscious respect for traditions that serve as a source of energy for the future. Later, other colonies of Sybaris, such as Poseidonia (modern Paestum), Laos, Skidros, Siris, and Pyxous, adopted the bull on their coins, symbolizing both a connection to the territory and spiritual value
