тетрадрахма, да еще и Signed by Istoros!
(The engraver Istoros worked in Thurium in the late 5th century and was, therefore, a contemporary of the great Syracusan engravers Kimon, Euainetos and Phrygillos (an engraver who almost certainly also worked at Thurium. His signature was first discussed by Imhoof-Blumer in 1883 (Monn. Gr. p. 7) in connection with the lovely specimen in the De Luynes collection, and his work is of a particularly serene and noble style, without any baroque flamboyance. His dies are among the finest of all those made at Thurium.)
