Silver 5 Asses Male head, blank

Aversbeschreibung	Male head facing right, rendered in fine archaic Greek style, with wavy hair bound by a wreath of laurel or olive, the strands carefully delineated. The facial features are well modeled, exhibiting the characteristic stylistic conventions of South Italian (Lucanian) coinage of the late 4th century BC. A dotted border frames the field around the bust. The letter V, denoting the denomination of 5 asses, appears in the left field.

Zusätzliche Informationen	The fractional silver coinages of Lucania during this period fall into a contested zone of attribution — ancient Lucania was not a single political entity but a loose confederation of Oscan-speaking peoples, and the civic or federal authority behind specific issues remains debated among specialists. This piece, catalogued across multiple major references with reasonable consistency, belongs to a group likely produced to facilitate trade along the Tyrrhenian coast during a period of intense pressure from both Syracusan expansion to the south and the encroaching Roman presence to the north.
