Commentary
Pour ce type, M. Crawford a relevé une estimation de quatre coins de droit et de quinze coins de revers. M. Crawford signale d’autre part que le poids moyen de ce didrachme ou nomos serait de 7,29 g. Nous pensons que l’étalon serait campanien et que les pièces pourraient être taillées au 1/42 L. (poids théorique 7,73 g très proche de l’étalon campanien 7,80 g). L’exemplaire de MONNAIES 52, n° 1 s’est vendu 1.600€ avec sept offres en TTB.
For this type, Mr. Crawford noted an estimate of four obverse dies and fifteen reverse dies. Mr. Crawford also reports that the average weight of this didrachm or nomos would be 7.29 g. We believe that the standard would be Campanian and that the coins could be cut to 1/42 L. (theoretical weight 7.73 g very close to the Campanian standard 7.80 g). The copy of COINS 52, No. 1 sold for €1,600 with seven bids in TTB
