eAuction #55, Los 33. Schätzpreis: CHF 300.00

Sicily, Syracuse. Hieron II (275-215 BC). AE 34-36 (32.72 g).
Obv. Diademed head of Hieron left.
Rev. Winged Nike driving fast biga right; below, monogram and in exergue, IEPΩNOΣ.
SNG Copenhagen 832; Calciati II, 196.

Very rare. Very fine/good fine.

In 265 Hieron II routed the Mamertines at the Longanus river west of Messana. This rare issue of about 36 grams may commemorate this victory and, if comparison be made with Mamertine denominated bronze coins, is the equivalent of an octuple bronze piece.
