Lot # 198 - Sicily. Panormos (as Ziz). Siculo-Punic Coinage, circa 400-380 BC. Didrachm (Silver, 20.13 mm, 8.33 g). Horse prancing right; above, 'sys' in Punic characters. Rev. Male head right, with two dolphins swimming in front and with a crayfish swimming behind. Jenkins, SNR 50 (1971), p. 39, pl. 6, 12-13 var. (O1/R-, two reverse dies with three dolphins, no crayfish). SNG Lloyd -. SNG Copenhagen -. SNG ANS -. HGC 2, 1033 var. (reverse die with three dolphins, no crayfish). Toned, with faint traces of a few deposits. Of fine style. Near Extremely Fine. Unpublished, of a type that is in itself Extremely Rare, and without precedents known to us. From a Swiss collection, formed before 2005. In the series of Siculo-Punic didrachms attributed by G.K. Jenkins to Panormos-Sis, depictions of crayfishes beside the head are not lacking, although in those cases the head is female rather than male (Jenkins, SNR 50, 1971, pl. 6, 2 and 5). Undoubtedly, our specimen is aligned with this issues, which draw upon the iconography of well-known Sicilian coinages such as Segesta and Syracuse, and it therefore stands as a noteworthy unpublished piece, a fascinating new addition to the corpus of Carthaginian domination in Sicily.

Lot # 199 - Sicily. Segesta. Didrachm. Circa 412-400 BC (Silver, 23.99 mm, 8.66 g). ΣEΓEΣΤΑΙΟΝ (retrograde), Hound scenting right, three grain ears in the background. Rev. Head of the nymph Segesta right, hair tied in sakkos. Hurter 195 (V61/R110). Rizzo pl. 62, 11 (same dies). SNG ANS 645 (same dies). SNG Lloyd 1187. SNG Oxford 1878 (same dies). HGC 2, 1152. Amazing iridescent patina. A remarkably well-struck, well-centered, and highly attractive example: undoubtedly among the finest specimens known. Virtually as struck. Rare. From a Swiss collection, formed before 2005. The hound of Segesta is among the most distinctive symbols in Sicilian numismatics. Far from being a mere animal type, it represents the river-god Krimissos, who, according to tradition, protected the Elymian city in canine form. Its presence on the coinage expresses local identity, divine guardianship, and a vigilant spirit in a region marked by constant conflict. The Segestan hound thus embodies both mythological heritage and civic pride, making this issue uniquely compelling within the Classical series.

With the sole exception of a unique gold issue of MHDYS (Munro-Hay type 67), this represents the only Axumite coin type bearing a full-length depiction of the monarch. As such, it constitutes an exceptionally rare and historically significant emission, marking the final phase of Axumite numismatic production and offering remarkable insight into late royal iconography.

Lot # 206 - Sicily. Syracuse. Circa 405-400 BC. Dekadrachm (Silver, 34.46 mm, 41.86 g). Struck under Dionysus I. Charioteer driving fast quadriga left, holding kentron and reins; Nike flying above crowning him; in exergue, panoply of arms arranged on two steps. Rev. [ΣΥΡΑΚΟΣΙΩ], Wreathed head of Arethusa left, wearing triple-pendant earring and necklace; around, four dolphins swimming; pellet below chin, and star of four rays behind neck. Scavino 70 (D21/R32a). Gallatin, J.VIa (same dies). BMC 183 (same dies). HGC 2, 1299. Heavy dark patina. A spectacular specimen, from unsigned dies in the style of Euainetos. Extremely Fine. Very Rare die pairing. From a Swiss collection, formed before 2005. This Syracusan decadrachm - possibly engraved by the celebrated master Euainetos during the reign of Dionysius I - represents the summit of classical Greek coin artistry. Issued at the height of the city’s power, it reveals the engraver’s extraordinary talent: the serene, sculptural presence of Arethusa and the dynamic, almost tragic energy of the quadriga elevate the piece far beyond mere monetary function. For scholars and discerning collectors alike, it is not simply a coin but a monument in miniature, reflecting the political ambition, cultural refinement, and artistic excellence that defined Syracuse’s greatest era.
