A very rare AE from Skylletion (?)

Starting Price: 100 CHF
Hammer Price:  190 CHF
Lot 191

BRUTTIUM, Skylletion, or possibly a mercenary issue from Sicily. Circa 350-325 BC. AE (Bronze, 20mm, 8.20 g 6). Male head to left, wearing pileus. Rev. Skylla swimming left. HN III 2565. SNG Copenhagen 1992-3. Very rare. Traces of overstriking and the obverse somewhat off center, otherwise, very fine.


From a collection in Ticino, formed over 20 years ago.

This issue has been attributed to the mint of Skylletion in Bruttium, but it may in fact be a mercenary issue from Sicily.
