SICILY. Gela . Circa 465-450 BC. Tetradrachm (Silver, 26 mm, 17.11 g, 7 h). Charioteer slow quadriga to right; behind, column with Ionic capital. Rev. CΕΛΑΣ Forepart of man-headed bull to right. Jenkins, Gela 225 (O60/R121). Clear and toned. Very fine.

Interesting enough, coins struck from this obverse die are usually struck off center, maybe due to the fact that the obverse die is slightly smaller in diameter compared to the others.
