The ancient Greek city of Heraclea minted distinctive silver staters that reflected its wealth and political importance in the ancient world. These coins typically featured the hero Heracles, the city’s namesake, often depicted with his iconic lion skin and club. Ancient silver coins from this period are prized as a link to ancient history of this Greek city-state. Right now, the Lucania Heraclia AR Stater Coin is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each Lucania Heraclea AR Stater Silver Coin comes in Choice Very Fine condition. The coin has bright, largely untoned surfaces with a smooth, satin-like luster and well-defined devices. The 4/5 strike refers to the high quality of the design’s centering, strength of strike, and evenness. The 5/5 surface indicates a coin with quality luster and few signs of corrosion or scratches.
The region of Lucania in southern Italy produced remarkable silver staters during the 4th and 3rd centuries BC, showcasing the sophisticated coinage of the Greek colonies there. Cities like Metapontum, Velia, and Thurii issued staters with diverse iconography including Athena, Apollo, and agricultural symbols that reflected their local economies and religious devotions. These coins are particularly prized by collectors for their fine style and the technical excellence of their dies, representing some of the finest examples of Magna Graecia numismatic art.
The obverse of Lucania Heraclea AR Stater Silver Coins come with a portrait of the goddess of Athena in right-profile relief wearing a helmet. The reverse of the coin features the mythical hero Heracles. During the tumultuous 3rd century BC, Heraclea continued minting silver staters despite the political instability brought by the Pyrrhic War and increasing Roman pressure on Magna Graecia. The coins from this era provide crucial historical evidence of Heraclea’s final decades of independence before its eventual absorption into the Roman sphere of influence.
