BRUTTIUM, Terina. Circa 400-380 BC. AR Nomos (19mm, 7.73 g, 1h). Contemporary imitation. Head of the nymph Terina right, hair in sphendone ornamented with maeander pattern; tiny Π behind neck, TE-[...]N[...] around from bottom left / Nike seated left on plinth, holding out right hand [upon which a small bird alights], left hand resting on plinth. Regling, Terina 96; F. Carelli, Nummorum veterum Italiae (1912), pl. 178, 21. Deep old iridescent tone, slightly compact flan. Near EF. Lovely style. Extremely rare, only one example published (in Vienna), none in CoinArchives.


Ex Leu 48 (10 May 1989), lot 34; Hess-Leu 45 (12 May 1970), lot 35 (there noting the coin is from a hoard discovered in 1927).

Regling placed this issue among a group of coins he considered to be imitations, and notes the dies appear to have been copied from his dies CC/γγγ–εεε. Holloway & Jenkins appear to accept Regling’s classification of these coins, and omit them from their survey of the coinage of Terina.
