Notes:
NAC Sale 61, Lot 157. We have decided not to order the anonymous struck coinage of Luceria (Cr. 43 and 97) according to Crawford’s arrangement since we do not agree with the way in which he organised this series. The new order presented here is based upon considerations of weight and stylistic consistency. An article by Roberto Russo and Andrew McCabe on this subject will be published in the near future. Rare and in unusually fine condition for the issue. Dark green patina and good very fine Privately purchased from J. Cappello in January 2005. (RBW Collection)
