Info:

Scholars believe that this issue was struck by the Lucani during the time of Pyrrhos, and it was struck on the reduced standard prevalent at Tarentum. The location of the mint remains uncertain, but Metapontum and Tarentum are mentioned as two possible candidates. The grain ear on the reverse is the key symbol of Metapontum and Robinson argues that the mint most likely was located there. However, Johnston notes that Athena on the obverse is almost identical to the style used on coins in Tarentum, and she argues that the coin should be viewed as an imitative issue merely combining key types from both cities.
