Ex Harry N. Sneh Collection.

The captive on reverse kneels on one knee, rather than sitting with his legs drawn up as on the second coin in lot 822 below. This difference, though not described in the standard references, is also evident on the ANS specimens, SNG 477-8 (kneeling), 479-482 (sitting).
