ΜΕΤΑ Barley ear with leaf to right; to right, TΗ. HN III 1555; Johnston A5.3; SNG ANS 405. NGC-VF. Certificate # 5872808-021. Nicely centered.Very Fine grading by NGC, but the coin presumably shows Choice VF+ details, thus UNDER GRADED, in our opinion. BOLD, STRONG STRIKE - NICE LUSTER REMAINS - EXCELLENT CENTERING - AMAZING EYE APPEAL Early Greek coinage on the continent in silver was found in the city states of Aegina and closely followed by Athens. These coins had an obverse and reverse with images. Along with these early types was an interesting striking type known as incuse coinage. This coinage in silver was comparably thinner in size to other Greek coins struck during that time. Instead of a reverse type there was an incuse of the same style found on the obverse. Coins of this type were found in Metapontum, Poseidonia and Caulonia. This exquisite silver coin comes from Ancient Greece, dating back to 100 BC. Certified by NGC Ancients, this coin is a true treasure for any collector of ancient coins. The detailed design and craftsmanship reflect the era in which it was made. This piece of history would make a valuable addition to any collection.
