An interesting reverse depicting a mythological scene: Leto and her children Artemis and Apollo. The two were fathered by Zeus, arousing Hera's jealousy. Leto was banned from giving birth on earth or sea, but found the island of Delos, which supposedly was not connected to either.

Comment from Curtis Clay:
"I know two others of this type, both from same dies: Vienna ex Trau lot [multi-coin lot 2453 in the 1935 Trau Sale in Vienna
(Vienna 70169)] and my collection, neither as well preserved as [this coin]! Note absence of star in field, an exception on coins of 220: clearly one of the earliest issues of the year. This is confirmed by the fact that the same type was used on denarii in the final issue of the PRECEEDING year, with TR P II."
