Professional Numismatic Notes
About extremely-fine and a very rare variety with an independent star above the pellet! The size difference between the devices on the obverse are also smaller than the reverse (or vice-versa), which is also unusual for these!
An authentic ancient Greek coin in great condition! A wonderful piece to add to a collection or to start a new one!
