<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 384257, member: 6370&quot;]The coin appears to be from the southern Italian district of Lucania, the city of Sybaris. It is a part of whats called the Magna Graecia...southern Italian areas colonized by the Greek.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>here are two similar examples of the coin:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/lucania/sybaris/SNGANS_828.1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/greece/lucania/sybaris/BMC_9.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Info would be something like:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lucania, Sybaris AR Nomos. Circa 530-510 BC. VM in exergue, bull standing left on dotted exergual line, head reverted / Incuse bull standing right on dotted exergual line, head reverted. SNG Cop 1388. SNGANS 828 </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I wouldnt comment on authenticity. The top example is a 3000 USD coin while the lower example is more like 500 USD in auction...of course more retail I would think.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
