Prieur 559 (same rev. die) Photograph Credit:     Classical Numismatic Group Source:     http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=112929 Grade:     EF, lightly toned, nice silvering. Notes:     Our specimen shows two pellets below the bust, and the obverse may be the same die as the illustrated specimen in Prieur. The poor state of preservation of the Prieur specimen makes a more certain attribution difficult and may account for the pellets (if they in fact exist on that specimen), not being described.
