Eagle with wings raised, standing right on hare, head lowered / Crab, holding snake in claw; conch shell and octopus below, six pellets around. Purchased from the J. Swithenbank collection, Roma Numismatics e-auction 5, London, February 18, 2014, Lot 86.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are examples with this obverse, but reverse with other symbols below the crab: crayfish, hippocamp, octopus ONLY [and barleycorn on obverse]. Also, examples with this reverse, but the obverse is eagle (left or right) with its head up, screaming. However, this die combination is not in Sear or SNG ANS or Hoover, Handbook of Coins of Sicily, Volume 2, published in 2012. Help in locating another example would be appreciated![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
