ITALY. Lucania. Metapontion. AR 1/3 Stater (1/3 Nomos - Drachm), ca. 540-510 B.C. VERY GOOD. Noe-Class III, 79-84; HN-Italy 1468. Obverse: Barley ear; Reverse: Incuse barley ear. Though quite well worn and handled, this example remains rather difficult and elusive, as the full staters are much more regularly encountered.
