Ex Triton II Auction Sale 1st - 2nd December 1998 (lot 205). Panormos was the principal Phoenician city in Sicily. It produced a limited coinage in the latter part of the 5th century. The Panormos tetradrachms of this time were copied from other Sicilian tetradrachms (some inluding signatures). This example is a copy from a Katana tetradrachm similar to ACNAC Dewing 581 and Rizzo Pl.11, 4-12. Another piece from the same dies (Jenkins example 6-3) was in Noble Numismatics Sale 62 (lot 1856).
