Nemesis(?), in long girdled, partly thrown over, double
chiton, stg. facing,
head l., holding measuring rod and puff of garment in l.
arm and
scales in
outstretched r. hand.
AMNG I/1, 845 (1 ex., Löbbecke); not in Hristova/Jekov; not in
Varbanov (engl.)
Very
rare,
good F/about VF
ex coll. Hoeft
Note: This is the first coin I have seen on which
Nemesis(?) is wearing only
scales and measuring rod without a wheel. I think this is the reason too that
Pick has added a question mark to
Nemesis.
This
type is not listed in Hristova/Jekov. So it is a new
type.
I will stop for now, best regards
