Segesta, Sicily. AR Hemilitra ca 400 BC, 0.22 g. Head of nymph Aigeste, facing three-quarters to right. Wheel with four crossed spokes, dot in each quarter and a dot in the centre. Manganaro JNG XXXIV, 1984, pl. 5, 72. Extremely rare. The attribution of this coin to the mint of Segesta is based on its resemblance to the unique tetradrachm of Segesta with the facing head of the nymph Aigeste (AMB 402). Undoubtedly this issue is work of an unusually skilled Carthaginian engraver. Estimate: 3000 CHF With permission of Numismatica Ars Classica, May 2012.
