<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Theodosius, post: 2958615, member: 77077&quot;]I have been looking for a coin from Segesta for a long time because I like the hound and nymph devices.&nbsp; There are a few dozen varieties but they are all somewhat rare (Hoover scale R1-R3).&nbsp; I found this one at Pegasi at the FUN show and made it my star coin buy of the show. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]723797[/ATTACH]Sicily, Segesta.</p><p>AR Didrachm, 461-415 BC, 8.43 g</p><p>Obverse: Hound scenting left on ground line surrounded by border of dots.</p><p>Reverse: Head of nymph Segesta right, hair tied with a broad band, surrounded by border line.</p><p>References: SNG ANS 624</p><p>Ex.
