CALABRIA, Tarentum. Circa 340-335 BC. AR Nomos (20mm, 7.90 g, 1h). Youth, nude, riding horse stepping left, his right hand placed on his steed’s head, and holding rein in his left; in background, another horse steps left; above, Nike flying left, crowning the youth; K-A-Λ in fields / Phalanthos, nude, holding kantharos in extended right hand and supporting himself with his left, riding dolphin left over waves below; TAPAΣ to right. Cf. Fischer-Bossert Group 52, 709 (for similar type); otherwise, unpublished. Iridescent tone, minor metal flaws, slight die shift on reverse. Near EF. Extremely rare, unpublished issue.

From the Pythagoras Collection.

Although this issue is unpublished, the types are identical to that of Fischer-Bossert 709, in his Group 52. The signature of the magistrate ˚Ŭ is present as of Group 56, but there is a letter ˚ on the Group 52 reverses that may indicate the same person. As such, it is nearly certain that this issue should be placed relative to these issues in Fischer-Bossert.
