Engaging Archaic Issue from Kaulonia
4072 ITALY. Bruttium. Kaulonia. AR Stater (Nomos) (7.97 gms), ca. 535-500 B.C. NGC AU★, Strike: 5/5 Surface: 3/5. Fine Style. Countermark. HGC-1, 1416; HN Italy-2035; NoeUnlisted (same obv. die as 6A). Obverse: Apollo advancing right, holding branch overhead and extending hand upon which a small daimon, holding branch in each hand, runs right; to right, stag standing right, head left; dot-and-cable border around; Reverse: Incuse of obverse, but daimon in
outline and with no ethnic; radiate border around. Sharply executed and very well centered, this charming rendition exhibits very little in the way of handling and certainly captures the gaze of the viewer. Pleasantly toned and with some hints of brilliance emanating from the protected areas, though a minor countermark is observed in the left field of the obverse. $10,000-$20,000 From the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection.
