    From Metapontion comes this 1/3 stater 2.58g with very deeply cut incuse reverse. It is 'different' in the raised center rib of the reverse and extra row of incuse line on each side of it. There are many variations on these, especially on the reverses which must have been interesting to cut for people accustomed to working in the other direction. The tag from an earlier sale gives Noe 52 but I do not have that reference so I don't know if it is more specific than just a third stater. If anyone has Noe, I would appreciate a check on this. I believe it is a multiple strike with the outer circle not perfectly aligned.
