Description: VF. Very Rare. High relief on the obverse and stunning olive green patina. Ex CNG 79 (17 September 2008), lot 203 with tag ($290 hammer). CNG lists the coin as unpublished. I have priced this CNG coin at less than the price it sold for in 2008.
See Nomos 8 (22 October 2013), lot 11 ($831 hammer) for updated attribution. This same Nomos coin sold again a decade later in Nomos 30 (6 November 2023), lot 1014 ($1779 hammer).
