AR 10 Asses or Litrae (8.19 g).
Gorgoneion; X below
Blank.
Toned, nice VF, struck with worn obverse die. Rare first gorgoneion issue.
Ex Martina de Behague Collection (Sotheby's, Monaco, 12 May 1987), lot 143 (part of).
Recent find evidence for this issue in the Golasecca phase III A 2 stratum of the Prestino excavation suggests a date in the second half of the fifth century down to about 400, (Studi Etruschi 50, 1982, pp. 506-9 in Soprintendenza alle Antichita della Lombardia; De Marinis "Como", and "Prestino, Via Isonzo, Como tra celti ed etruschi", Società Archaeologica Comense, 1986, pp. 113-120). The late fifth century is also confirmed by the subsequent find of a rare 5 Asses piece (Vecchi II, 9-10) in the excavation of the early fourth century Etruscan sanctuary of Gravisca, (P. Visonà, "Gravisca e Puna della Vipera: Le monete", Quaderni Ticinesi 22, 1993, 44, 1, pl. 1, 1 and 1a). The weight standard of this issue is based upon the Corinthian stater (= Attic didrachm) of about 8.6 gm., divided into ten units on the same weight standard as the Sicilian litra.
