Rare.From the Edgar L. Owen Collection. Ex Thomas Virzi Collection, 357.An interesting type which has yet to be satisfactorily explained. This particular variant was first described by Warwick Wroth over a century ago ("Greek coins acquired by the British Museum," NumChron XX [1900], pp. 4-5), where the reverse figure is described as "...a river god – either the Bruttian Metaurus, or the local river now called Mesima" based on the crab being held in the outstretched right hand. In addition to the crab, other variants include the figure holding a patera (Gorini 5; SNG Lloyd 660) or skyphos (Ars Classica XVII, lot 101; CNG 87, lot 195 [both misdescribed]). More recent scholarship has favored an identification of the figure as Pan.
