Hansen[ATTACH=full]1451486[/ATTACH]I probably have more coins from the mint of Syracuse than I do from any other mint. I am particularly fond of the coins from this mint as they are usually well executed. Often they are at the cutting edge of development during that time. The city produced coins over an extended period of time thus creating a wide variety in both types and style. This is one of the earlier aes issues from this mint. It is one of the earliest large aes issues from any of the Sicilian mints.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
