HN Italy-1584?. Obverse: Head of Demeter slightly right, wearing grain ear wreath; Reverse: Barley ear with leaf right; META upwards right, [bucranium above leaf?]. A super example, untouched but honestly worn. Very minor scuffs on the obverse do not subtract from the beauty of the obverse portraiture, A relatively SCARCE type of Metapontion, showing the head of Demeter facing frontwards instead of to the side. A series that remains under-researched, and a coin that is sure to attract much attention.
