Good Fine.
From the collection of D.I., Germany, purchased before 1992.
The Athena/Herakles type was common on dynastic issues of circa 440-370 BC, though issues were often anepigraphic and so are difficult to assign to a particular dynast., making the present fourrée example a particularly interesting piece.
