BMC pl. 19, 13 Photograph Credit:     Classical Numismatic Group Source:     http://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=103435 Grade:     VF, three test cuts on reverse Notes:     Sale: CNG 75, Lot: 527 Unique and unpublished in this denomination. Gitler & Tal VI.2D is a similar drachm with these types, but the style of this coin is a perfect match for the VI.3O obol, which also has this same countermark. On both this drachm and the obol, it appears that the reverse die was engraved to accommodate the addition of the Bes countermark, while the dies of type VI.2D were not.
