Notes:     Sale: CNG 76, Lot: 1245 From the Karl Sifferman Collection.There are apparently two varieties of the standard below the chin on the obverse of this issue. One version, as on this coin, has the standard upright, with the boar clearly placed atop the standard. The other version, as on the following coin, has the standard sideways, with the boar placed lower, partially covering the banner. Coins with the former variety usually do not have the standard visible, so it is possible that the symbol was modified to the latter version so that the standard would be clearly visible on the coins.
