Good Very Fine. Extremely Rare; an apparently unpublished variant of an extremely rare type.
From a private British collection.
This type, which is known from only a very few specimens bearing a couple of slightly differing formats of the city ethnic, is the only proof that this coinage is that of the Rhodian city of Kamiros. The other coins of this city invariably use an incuse reverse design without indication of the manufacturing authority.
