Apollo Sauroktonos, nude, with crossed legs stg. r., resting with raised l. hand on long rod (sceptre?) on

d) Pat Lawrence, Apollo Sauroktonos: The Evidence of the Coins, no.8
very rare, about VF, black-green glossy patina
G. Dzanev, Coins of the Rousse Region, Rousse, 1998, p.68, calls the figure Dionysos! His reasons can be: There is no lizard at the typical place and the rod looks like a thyrsos.
Pat Lawrence: Instead of a lizard it could be a torch or a quiver!
