Light toning, small flan, very fine and rare.
Ex Spink & Son, London, with their ticket, December 1997. An interesting issue with the usual abreviation of the mint name and symbol that appears on the regular coinage of Ephesus of the 4th and 3rd century B.C. A similar but finer example was in our sale 59 (lot 1842) and realised $1078.
