<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Theodosius, post: 2647623, member: 77077&quot;]Forum recently listed a group of fine style hemilitrons of Syracuse.&nbsp; I have always liked artistic coins and coins signed by master engravers.&nbsp; These two coins are not signed but are possibly the work of two well known celators.&nbsp; They were very reasonably priced so I scooped them up.&nbsp; They may be the cheapest coins at around $100 that could possibly be the work of well known Greek engravers???</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]585103[/ATTACH]</p><p>Syracuse AE19, 4.5 gm, Hemilitron</p><p>466-405</p><p>Second Democracy</p><p>Obverse: Arethusa with hair in amphyx and sphendone</p><p>Reverse: Wheel with two Dolphins</p><p>Calciati notes that coins of this issue included dies signed by the masters Kimon, Phrygillos, Eukleidas, and possibly Eumenes.&nbsp; Other examples are unsigned but of fine style.
