SICILY. Gela. AV 1-1/3 Litrai (1.17 gms), ca. 415-405 B.C. NGC AU, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 2/5. Wrinkled. HGC-2, 335 var. (Sosipolis right); Jenkins-492.15 (O103/R199; this coin cited). Obverse: Forepart of man-headed bull left; Reverse: Head of the nymph Sosipolis left. A <strong>VERY RARE </strong>fractional issue, this charming example offers a great strike with little actual handling. The noted flan wrinkling is in fact quite typical, and doesnt interfere with the overall allure of this spectacularly pedigreed specimen. From the Collection of a Gentleman.<p>Ex: Sir Hermann Weber Collection, 1329.<p>Ex: Sir Andrew Fountaine (1676-1753) Collection (Christies - 1884) Lot # 463.
