Pleasing natural antique toning on both sides. A masterpiece of Greek art. Extremely Fine. The obverse signed by Euaintos the famous celetor of Sicilian coins. His style shows that he was trained in Athens before engraving his Syracuse and Katane dies. The style of coins by Euaintos were very unique because, besides being signed by him, they depicted his subjects in a realistic and dynamic manner, with scale depictions of the charioteer, horses, and chariot wheels. Here Apollo's countenance appears very youthful, delicate, and feminine, which is almost identical with the portrait Euainetos engraved of Arethusa, in his Syracuse coins. They look as though they could be siblings. Estimated Value $25,000-UP Ex Sternberg Auction XX (April 1988), Lot 264. Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc.
