<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 8244465, member: 26430&quot;]Wow, that&#039;s a beautiful example with a wonderful provenance and publication history. My example is one of the Leukippos Nomos (Nomoi? maybe people prefer &quot;Stater&quot; for the easy pluralization!).</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s one of my frustrating provenance dead-ends. It came from the JB (Edmonton, d. 2019) Collection, who I&#039;ve tried to research a bit since I discovered his coins unexpectedly came to me from four different pathways in 2019. I&#039;m certain this one doesn&#039;t appear in ACSearch (I could try harder in Coryssa.org, from which I&#039;ve had a number of successes) but always keep my eyes open every time I get a new catalog or FPL or scan a new pdf of an old catalog online.</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe it&#039;s rather a scarce die-combination though I&#039;ve found a few other examples. One thing I like about this obverse die is that the eyelashes are quite visible, as on the Dinomos type.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1451758[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>Lucania, Metapontum (340 - 330 BC).
