[ 5670]
AΘA Mint in Northwestern Sicily
Bronze 15mm (3.10 grams) Struck circa 340-330 B.C.
Reference HGC 2, 234; CNS III, p. 288-289,nos.3-3/4 (R1)
AΘA, Head of Athena in Attic helmet right.
Female figure enthroned right, holding palm branch or scepter and bow.
Probably imitative issue of HGC 2, 233
* Numismatic Note: This mint's name has been previously misread as AΘΛ (Athl), in light of modern numismatic scholarship, AΘA is actually a Doric abbreviation for Athena. So therefore, the name of this mint is unknown. The small denomination was ostensibly popular as it caused imitative types to be made as this one is.
