ATTICA. Athens. 39-37 BC. (Bronze, 18.5 mm, 4.75 g, 12 h). Head of youthful Dionysos to right. Rev. A-ΘE Athena advancing to right, holding spear with her right hand and aegis. Kroll 140. Svoronos pl. 25, 29. Nearly very fine.

From the Vineyard Collection, ex Classical Numismatic Group 50, 23 June 1999, 732.
