Bruttium, Medma (c.330-320 BC), Silver Stater, 8.5g. Bruttium, Medma (c.330-320 BC), Silver Stater, 8.5g. Pegasos flying left; no mint control. Rev. Head of Athena facing left, wearing Corinthian helmet; no symbol or letters (Gorini grp. 1, unlisted dies; Pegasi 2; cf HN Italy 2424-5 (control marks); SNG Lloyd 659). Extremely Fine. Very rare. Calciati includes eleven coins in his corpus for which he could not identify the mint. Most, as is this coin, are uninscribed, but some have symbols though he was unable to tie them to any particular mint. This coin has neither a mint control below Pegasos on the obverse or any letters or symbols on the reverse. The style of Athena seems late, thus our dating to the final period of Pegasi in Greece.
Estimated Value $1,500-UP.
