ITALY. Lucania. Sybaris. AR Stater (7.39 gms), ca. 530-510 B.C. ANACS VF 35. Broken, Repaired.HGC-1, 1231; HN Italy-1729; SNG ANS-828-44. Obverse: Bull standing left, head right; VM in exergue; Reverse: Incuse bull standing right, head left. A broken chunk of the flan along 12 oclock above the bull has been reattached, and various tool marks and other evidence of manipulation are apparent under magnification. However, the coin as a whole presents satisfyingly, and will make a more affordable representative for collectors seeking this popular issue from Magna Graecia.From the S.P. Rutherford Collection.
