This type was unique until a second specimen appeared in the 1992 Gorny sale cited above. Erik Sjöqvist in ANSMN 1960 illuminated the background of this interesting coinage. Sjöqvist argued that the Sikeliotan people inhabited Morgantina and that the town was pro-Carthiginian and wealthy in c. 214-213 BC when this coinage was struck. Sjöqvist suggests that the dies for the coinage were cut by highly talented Syracusan engravers, in the style of the Syracusan coinages of Hieron II and Hieronymos
