Hendin 1169 (form of P in HPΩΔOY); cf. TJC 44 (same). Earthen-brown patina. Very Fine. Estimate Value $300 - 350
From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection.
The form of the P in HPΩΔOY takes on an unusual form on this coin, with a short bar at the bottom. The bar does not appear to be a die-break, although this is not certain.
