Only the letters below the portrait are partially visible, as are part of the charioteer and triskeles on the reverse. Nevertheless, it is very rare to find these examples with even wider flans. Here, the dolphins are clearly visible, testifying to the very well-formed flan, with a vigorous strike. The motifs have been printed perfectly and the details are all clearly perceptible in this masterly engraving.\nIerardi 50 (O9\/R28); SNG Manchester 496 (same dies); SNG ANS 633; HGC 2, 1348; SNG Lloyd 1478 (same obv. die); SNG Fitzwilliam 1330 (same obv. die) and Pozzi 1315 (Coll.) \/ 641 (Vente). \nFaune d'Argent Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"headCaption\"\u003eNK\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"reverseCaption\"\u003eΣYPAKOΣIΩN \/ AI\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"weight\"\u003e16.6 gr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cdma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55860889059660,"sku":"1506912","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1655\/7029\/files\/1506912A_7349940d-2c22-4a69-8dcf-df9affb1aa07.jpg?v=1762429998","url":"https:\/\/www.numiscorner.com\/products\/1506912-sicily-agathokles-tetradrachm-317-289-bc-syracuse-silver-au-55-58","provider":"Numiscorner.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
