<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2528359, member: 42773&quot;]I happen to have a hexas of Kentoripai. I like yours better. I don&#039;t know of any other types that have a plow-only reverse - plows are usually pictured as part of a larger scene. My example isn&#039;t great, but I think these coins are pretty damn scarce, so the collector of Sicilian issues should probably grab any half-way decent example that isn&#039;t too pricey. I see some dealers asking $350 for coins that are only slightly better than ours. This is probably a prime example of rarity NOT translating into market value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would like to know if there are any other ancient plow-only types, though. Has anyone seen one from another city?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]540089[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Centuripae (Kentoripai), Sicily</p><p>AE Hexas, 16mm, 3g, 12h; after 241 BC</p><p>Obv.: Head of Demeter right, ear of barley behind.</p><p>Rev.: KENTO-PIΠINΩN; Plow, bird right on share, two pellets to left.</p><p>Reference: SNG Cop 216[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
