RIC 124a (C2). BMC 61. RSC 313a. BNC 49.
Acquired from The Coin Cabinet, September 2009.
RIC 124 is divided in the book's plates into three varieties based on the arrangement of the palmettes or corn ears on the triangular frame. 124a is a bit scarcer than 124c.
Not a bad example of a very common type. A few scratches and some evidence of rough cleaning do not distract from the overall appearance.
