TYPE Ancient Greece, uncertain of Sicily?, ca. 5th - 4th c. BC, silver obol?, 0.83g DESCRIPTION . Obv: Head of river-god (Gelas? possibly also Pan?) r., with pointed beard and horns, in incuse square Rev: Forepart of uncertain animal left REFERENCE: SG -, Pl -, Del -, BMC2 - GRADING: VF+ / AVF, toned, some crystallization but othewise good metal, rare and possibly unpublished ORDER INFO: G2109, $165 A mysterious and attractive fractional issue. The very high-quality obverse rendition resembles style-wise some of those of man-headed bulls of Gela from the later Archaic period, but there are no other obvious similarities with those types. Additionally puzzling is the fact that Pan/Gelas appears in a (partially visible) incuse square, implying that side could also be considered the reverse. Finally, the forepart of the animal on the coin's other side is hard to decipher, despite a rather bold strike, given the oversized die that left the head off the flan.
