Head of female left, emerging from horizontal murex shell; HAT below / Pegasos flying right; five pellets (mark of value) below.

Ex Artemide Aste LII (27 October 2019), lot 7.

A notoriously difficult issue to find as an original; a number of good copies were made for collectors during the Renaissance and later, that, once patinated, are very difficult to distinguish from the few known originals.
