Rare. Ex BCD Collection (not in LHS sale); Vinchon (7 November 1977), lot 91; Hess-Leu 31 (6 December 1966), lot 362.This later issue of coinage at Kleitor is also an issue for local use, and, unlike her issues as part of the Arkadian Confederacy, exhibit types that had local significance. As with the previous lot, these local issues with the radiate head of Helios are quite rare. |
