| Description | AR Tetradrachm (16.99 gms), ca. 460-450/46 B.C. NGC AU, Strike: 4/5 Surface: 5/5. HGC-2, 78; Westermark-353.8 (O10/R38; this coin); SNG ANS-974 (same obv. die). Obverse: Sea eagle standing left; Reverse: Crab within shallow incuse circle. Struck on an incredibly broad and round flan, this fantastic specimen presents tremendous beauty and allure. Though a hint of striking weakness and gentle handling is noted upon the highest points, this example undoubtedly stands as one of the most attractive and engaging of the type that one could hope to encounter. Truly a connoisseur's coin, and one which should generate a great deal of enthusiasm. Stunning Akragas Tetradrachm of Superior Craftsmanship. Cited in Westermark From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection. Ex: Ars Classica XVI (7/1933) Lot # 410. |
