BRUTTIUM. Kaulonia. Circa 475-425 BC. Stater (Silver, 20 mm, 7.90 g, 8 h). ΚΑV Apollo striding to right. Rev. Stag standing right. Noe, Caulonia 75g (this coin). HN III 2044. Nicely toned and with a remarkably well-centered reverse. Test cut on the obverse, otherwise, very fine / extremely fine.

From the collection of W. F. Stoecklin, Amriswil, Switzerland, acquired from Münzen und Medaillen, Basel, and from the Smith collection, Ars Classica XV, 2 July 1930, 228.

While the obverse of this coin is damaged by an ancient cut, the reverse is exceptionally well-centered and attractive. It is interesting to note that the stag seems to be wearing a collar, thus indicating its sacral character.
