Product Details
Rare to find Silver Didrachm from Taranto, also known as "The Spartan City". Taranto was the only colony ever founded by Sparta.

Coin Highlights:
  • Calabria, Taras Silver Didrachm, 302-280 BC.
  • Encapsulation by NGC authenticates and protects the Choice Very Fine condition of the coin.
  • Obverse: Nude youth horseman cantering left, holding a small shield.
  • Reverse: Taras seated on dolphin left, holding Nike above the waves.


This Tarentine didrachm beautifully embodies the mythology, aristocracy, and military identity of the city. The horseman and dolphin-riding Taras are not only rich in symbolism, but also stand among the most iconic and artistically celebrated designs in all of Greek coinage. A favorite among collectors of Magna Graecia, mythological types, and classical silver art, this piece offers both historical depth and aesthetic appeal.

Whether you're building a focused regional collection or seeking a single standout example of ancient Greek craftsmanship, this coin deserves a place in your cabinet.
