Ancient Greece 240 BC Tarentum Boy in a Dolphin Stater Nomos Framed in 18Kt Gold
About the Item
Riding boy in a dolphin framed coin pendant.
An ancient silver coin of one Nomos or Stater struck between 272 - 240 BC in the Greek portuary city of Tarentum, located in Calabria in the very southern Italy.
This coin is carefully mounted in a four-prongs custom made frame, crafted in solid yellow gold of 18 karats with high polished finish.
Obv description: Naked horseman riding to the left, crowning the horse with his raised right, Legend ΣΥ above, ΛΥΚΙ/ΝΟΣ below.
Ref description: Young Taras on dolphin riding to the left, chlamys over extended left, about to hurl trident, with an owl behind, Legen below ΤΑ−ΡΑΣ.
Literature: BMC P.181,161 HN ITALY 1025.
Note: The owl on the reverse was a symbol of the alliance with Pyrrhus, so that might perhaps also help to explain the owls on the Tarentine coins of the period. Interestingly, the only Syracusan coin featuring an owl (and the Syracusans weren't exactly the best of friends of Athens either) also makes its appearance during the time of Pyrrhic alliance.
Has a total weight of 11.4 Grams and a measurements of 32 mm by 23 mm (1.26 x 0.90 Inches).
Collateral: It is accompanied by a presentation jewelry box.
Condition: The overall condition of this coin pendant is excellent. Beside the little normal wear and bending, there is no damage to the gold or the coin. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity.
