Grade:
aF
Notes:
Extremely rare, the third known coin of this type. It is interesting to note that even on the coins of a small, rustic community such as this, the ethnic is written differently on each of the two known reverse dies of the issue. Perhaps both versions of the name were in use during the time this particular type was struck.
