Two tetradrachms from Messana, Sicily, today's Messina. Left a coin from a Paris auction, on the right one from an American auction. Both photographs were taken in 1998. The inscription on the right piece is not sharp causing me to doubt about the coin's authenticity. If you compare the script on the two coins you can see exactly what I mean. But I inspected this very coin personally on the right and it is genuine. The explanation is simple: The die for the hare was cut by a master, the script by an inexperienced man. One would have to call him a blunderer!
