Incerta dall'Asia Minore

[VALTERI]

Di questa moneta ( uno statere ) " unpublished " ed estremamente rara, poco ci dice il compilatore dell'asta Naumann 70 che la offrirà al lotto 106 il prossimo 07-10-2018 .

Particolare ed inconsueta l'architettura illustrata al diritto con al rovescio una protome di toro che ricorda i tipi di Samo .
