HISTIAIA


No.: 531
d=12 mm

Bronze, 4./3. Jhdt.v.Chr.
Kopf der Nymphe Histiaia mit eingerolltem Haar rechts.
Rs: [I]Σ (im Feld oben). Kopf und Halsabschnitt eines Rindes rechts, leicht zum Betrachter gewandt.
1,13 g. St. 3.
Äußerst selten, wohl unpubliziertes Unikum.

The size of the types as well as the weight suggest this is the half of the previous coins (catalogue nos. 527 to 530). A very interesting issue of a denomination which must have been in use for a very short time. This seems to be the only specimen that has survived.
