Æ

Nesos ("island" in Greek) was a minor mint operating in Sicily during the third century BC, a period when the island was contested between Carthaginian and Greek spheres of influence. The city itself is poorly documented in ancient sources, and its coinage — limited in type and volume — represents one of the more obscure provincial Sicilian series. BMC Greek 10 is among the more frequently referenced specimens, which speaks less to abundance than to how few examples exist to catalog at all.
