    I am trying to attribute the following coin from my collection more accurately but cannot find online access to the main reference work – can any CT member help?

    Here’s my coin

    Sicily, Zankle-Messana, 515 – 493 BC. AR drachm (22mm, 5.78g)
    Dolphin left; DANKLE below; all within sickle-shaped harbour
    Nine-part incuse square with scallop shell in centre.
    ex Murray Gell-Mann collection
    ex Roma (2017 and 2016) e32 lot 128, e27 lot 55, a11 lot 94
    ex NFA (1987) 18 lot 36, Vichon (1985) lot 98

    My goal is to see if the dies used for my coin are listed in the main reference work, which is usually cited as

    H.E. Gielow. “Die Silberprägung von Dankle-Messana” in MBNG 48 (1930).

    Where MBNG is an abbreviation for Mitteilungen der Bayerischen Numismatischen Gesellschaft

    I’ve tried to find online access to this article without success. Can any CT member assist?

    Thanks so much.
