Silver Decadrachm of Akragas of 409-406 BC

Having trouble landing the Holy grail Silver Decadrachm of Akragas of 409-406 BC?
$2,918,000 in October 2012. The massive 42-gram masterpiece was issued to pay mercenaries. Struck from just five dies (two obverse, three reverse), about ten survivors are known. The extreme rarity was issued just before the Carthaginian destruction of the city.
For a much more reasonable 175,00 € you may obtain a hand struck silver Akragas Sicily Dekadrachm replica. Here.
