Geissen-Weber p. 314, Plate XXV, 236. Very Fine. Ex Kerry K. Wetterstrom Collection, CNA Ltd. XIII, 12.04.1990, lot 275. Pleasant specimen of dichalkon belonging to nome Sebennyte Lower (Lower Egypt) minted in the eleventh year of Hadrian’s reign (126-127 AD). Small portrait easily recognizable of the emperor on the obverse and a bunch of grapes on the reverse, reminding the wide vineyard cultivations in the region of the nome, already from the Pharaonic era to the Roman period, so much so that Pliny the Elder praises the wine produced in Sehennytos as the synthesis of three noble vines.
