Two wrestlers grappling; BΛ between / Slinger in throwing stance right; triskeles to right; all within pelleted square border. Tekin Series 4; Izmir –; SNG BN –; SNG von Aulock –; SNG Copenhagen –; SNG PP 5. VF, lightly toned. Rare.
The BΛ issue is among the rarest of Aspendos staters. Correct attribution of these is dependent upon a close reading of the text of many published collections, as coin wear and poor quality photos often make the more common BA issues appear to read BΛ (see SNG Copenhagen 215 and Izmir 4).
