Special Comments:     Incorrectly attributed to Atrax - see Demetriadi P. 48, N. 3 for correction ; otherwise unpublished
Grade:     Good VF
Notes:     Extremely rare. The reverse type appears to relate this issue to Rogers 187-190, but the fact that all are the same size and weight suggest these were not contemporary issues. The obverse type and style, and the ethnic are closer to Rogers 202, of which the present issue would be an appropriate half-denomination.
