Kaphyai, Arcadia. AE Dichalkon (16 mm, 2.54 g), c. 1st half of the 3rd Century BC.
Obv. Head of Demeter right, wearing wreath of grain.
Rev. KAΦY, Demeter (or Persephone) standing right, holding poppy and grain ears.
HN p. 446; NCP T XV; BCD Peloponneos 1379 (this coin).

Extremely rare. Good fine.

From the BCD collection, ex LHS 96 (2006), 1379.

In the LHS catalogue, BCD noted: "the autonomous AE of Kaphyai seems to be amongst the rarest bronze city coins of the Peloponnesos. Extremely rare is an understatement for this and the next coin..."
