[#1066712] Coin, Sicily, Tetradrachm, ca. 430-425 BC, Leontini, MS(60-62), Silve. Laureate head of Apollo to left. Head of a lion to left with around, three barley grains and a laurel leaf behind the head (signature of the "Maestro della foglia"). Superb specimen, very well centered and with an old patina with golden tones. The details of the engraving are very well preserved, we will note only some very slight flats on the highest reliefs. The engraver of the reverse has been identified by Emanuele Rizzo as "the master of leaves" because of his use of leaves (laurel, plane tree and others) as a signature.
