Sicilian Akragas Didrachm Silver Coin - 480 BCE

Item Details

Description

Greek colonies, Magna Graecia, Sicily, Akragas, ca. 480 to 478 BCE. AR didrachm (7.6 g). Obverse: Sea eagle standing left, AK behind, RA in front. Reverse: Crab. Cp. SNG ANS 950f.; SNG München 51ff.; HGC 97. Size: 0.75" W (1.9 cm)

With delightful animal imagery relating to the sea, this is a relatively rare coin find. Akragas, today Agrigento, Italy, overlooks the sea, protected by a ridge to its north. Greek colonists established the city ca. 580 BCE and it became a prosperous and large (at one point it may have had over 100,000 inhabitants!) city, one of the most famous in Magna Graecia. When this coin was made, it was a functioning democracy and trade state, and would remain so until it was sacked by the Carthaginians in 406 BCE.
