I like the rev.

The reverse is special indeed; it makes me think of (later) Oriental statues - very refined.


Wonderful acquisition!

Estiot in her Paris catalogue, p. 368, confirms that this variety is rare.

She cites only one specimen of the coin, in the British Museum, illustrating it on her pl. 94, 412. The BM specimen appears to be from the same dies as yours.

Helvetica lists it as rare as well and gives as refenence Balkan hoard 118
