The Prospero Collection of Ancient Greek Coins. ITALY. Lucania, Metapontum (c.540-510 B.C.), Silver Incuse Stater, 8.21g,. MET , eight-grained ear of barley. Rev. The same type, incuse, without legend (Noe, Class I, 3; SNG ANS 160; BMC 3; HN Italy 1459). Wonderful cabinet tone, about extremely fine, an excellent example. Purchased from Spink & Son Ltd., London, 22 April 1986 Metapontum was another of the wealthy Greek colonies in Magna Graecia. Throughout the extensive series of staters that Metapontum issued, the ear of barley, to which the city-state owed its wealth, features prominently. Perhaps of most interest however, is the head of Demeter, the goddess of corn, which usually appears on the obverse of the staters. The head of Demeter is consistently represented as a young woman, often engraved in exquisite beauty to a very high degree of artistry. Considering the range of different styles in which Demeter manifests herself, it is tempting to think that the artists responsible might have taken their inspiration from real life. The Prospero Collection includes a very attractive and select group of staters from Metapontum. US$ 3,000
