Information from FORVM purchase:
apparently unpublished, extremely rare, and only the second specimen of the type known to Forum
This type is unpublished and missing from the ANS, Coin Archives, Wildwinds, and Asia Minor Coins databases online. After an exhaustive search we found one other example of this type. The only other example know to Forum is on our own website, in the Forum Ancient Coins Members' Gallery, Countermarks Theme Gallery. Both coins were struck with the same dies.
