                 Reference: Jenkins/Holloway 14; SNG ANS 802




  Bruttium, Terina. Circa 440-425 BC. AR Nomos (7.48 gm). Head of the nymph Terina
  left, encircled by an olive wreath / [TERINAIWN], Nike seated left on hydria,
  [holding wreath in right hand], caduceus in left. Jenkins/Holloway pg. 48, 14 (same
  obverse die); SNG ANS 802 (same dies). Fine, toned, minor corrosion, ethnic
  reingraved. Estimate $200.



  The reverse has the unusual appearance of being an unpublished and stylistically
  aberant type. The wreath has been effaced and the ethnic re-engraved by some early
  collector, to correct the fault of an off-center strike. However, the obverse retains
  its original superior engraving.
