Eagle standing left.Rev: Crab.Westermark Period II, Group II, 343 (O9/R32); SNG ANS 964; HGC 2, 78.Historical sources give the date of Akragas' founding as the 50th Olympiad (585-580 BC), placing it among the last Greek colonies established in Sicily. The settlers probably came from Rhodes and Gela, under the command of the ecists Aristonoo and Pistilos, who located a site not far from the sea on the Akragas River, after which the city was named. During the tyranny of Phalaris (570-555 BC) the city built walls and began an expansionist campaign, later continued by Theron (488-473), who won an important battle victory over the Carthaginians at Himera, gaining a vast territory. From that time Akragas experienced enormous political, economic and cultural development, culminating in the period of democratic rule, which was established after the death of Theron. In 406 BC the city was besieged by the Carthaginians, who finally sacked and burned it several times, without however, favoring the establishment of a Punic colony. With Timoleon's victory over Carthage in 339, the city was rebuilt on the same site, then taken back by the Carthaginians and remained under their influence until 210, when it passed into Roman hands at the end of the Second Punic War. The eagle depicted on the obverse of this coin, and on most of the issues of Akragas, is surely to be related to Zeus, to whom the inhabitants dedicated the most important temple in the city. The crab, on the other hand, which appears on all the reverses, is associated with Poseidon, demonstrating the city's great connection with the sea from the time of its founding, which was important for its economy related to maritime trade. On some silver coins, a human face appears on the carapace of the crab, most likely depicting the river god Akragas in an original way. Condition: Good very fine.Weight: 16.49 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: Near uncirculated .Weight: 17.09 g.

The coinage of Leontinoi in the 5th century BC, especially the tetradrachms, represents one of the highest achievements of Sicilian engraving art. The city’s monetary series display a coherent and refined evolution in which two images dominate and define its visual identity: the head of Apollo and the lion’s protome. The head of Apollo is the principal type on the obverse dies. The image is rendered with increasing elegance: at first more archaic and rigid, then progressively softer, more harmonious, and classically proportioned. Apollo is not merely an aesthetic motif; he embodies the Chalcidian cultural heritage, the Greek origins of the city, and an ideal of order, balance, and civic identity. The presence of several engravers, including the renowned “Master of Leontinoi”, contributes to an extraordinary stylistic variety, a sign of a lively and innovative mint. The lion is the oldest and most deeply rooted symbol of Leontinoi, already linked to the city’s name and local tradition. On the coins it appears as a lion’s protome, often accompanied by barley grains, or as a running lion in earlier issues. It serves a dual purpose: it evokes the very name of the city and expresses strength, pride and autonomy, even in periods when the polis was politically subordinate to Syracuse. This combination creates a powerful visual language that blends indigenous tradition, Greek culture, and artistic ambition. Leontinoi, though not one of Sicily’s great powers, thus succeeds in expressing a distinctive and original voice within the island’s numismatic landscape.

Controls: monogram to inner left; monogram and grain ear below throne.Marinescu Issue 25, 59-62; HGC 7, 524.Lysimachos was a Macedonian general and one of Alexander the Great's Diadochi. He was the son of Agathokles, from an important family in Pella. Took part in Alexander's expedition to Asia and distinguished himself during the campaign in India. As a reward for his valor, Alexander presented him with a golden crown in Susa. When Alexander died in 323, during the division of the empire's satrapies in Babylon, Lysimachos obtained Thrace and worked to expand its borders to the mouth of the Danube. He formed an alliance with Seleukos, Kassander, and Ptolemy against Antigonos, who had revived the idea, already supported by Perdikkas and Eumenes, of reconstituting the unity of Alexander's empire under his command. Antigonos sought to use the Greeks' desire for freedom to his advantage, proclaiming that all Hellenic states should be independent and free from garrisons and tributes. This also had an effect in Thrace, where a revolt broke out against Lysimachos, who managed to defeat the rebels and the troops sent by Antigonos. The general peace that ended in 311 consolidated his rule in Thrace, where he founded the new capital, Lysimachia, in 309/8. However, peace was brief and various Diadochi took the title of king, including Lysimachus (in 306-5), who once again allied himself with the previous league against Antigonos in Asia Minor. Antigonos was defeated at Ipsos in Phrygia, and in the resulting partition, Lysimachos gained control of Lydia and Caria. In honor of his first wife, who had died, he changed the name of the city of Antigoneia, founded by his rival, to Nicaea. To strengthen his alliance with Egypt, he remarried Arisonoe II, daughter of Ptolemy. Later, when Demetrios Poliorketes, Antigonos' son, resumed his father's plans and proclaimed himself king of Macedonia, he fought against him with mixed fortunes. When Demetrios attempted to occupy Thrace, Lysimachos allied with Ptolemy, Seleukos, and Pyrrhus, king of Epirus. In 288 BC, the coalition invaded Macedonia, forcing Demetrios to flee. In the ensuing partition, Lysimachos took western Macedonia and Pyrrhus took eastern Macedonia. The alliance with Pyrrhus soon broke down; defeated by Lysimachos, he was forced to retreat to Epirus, while in 285 Lysimachos became king of the all of Macedonia. His increased power aroused the suspicions of Seleukos and Ptolemy, intertwining with a family tragedy. His wife Arsinoe (perhaps with the intention of securing succession for her children) accused her stepson Agathokles of plotting against his father to seize the throne; Lysimachos had him imprisoned and poisoned (284 BC). His widow Lysandra (Arsinoe's half-sister), his brother Alexander, and other figures close to Agathokles fled and took refuge at the court of Seleukos, prompting him to wage war against Lysimachos. In the war that followed, Lysimachos was defeated, partly due to defections among his own forces, and died on the battlefield at Corupedium in Phrygia (282 BC). He was between 74 and 80 years old. The Asian territories of his kingdom came under the control of Seleukos, while Macedonia and Thrace, after various events, passed to Antigonos Gonatas, son of Demetrios.
