Svor-30; BMC-3. Obverse: Bearded head of Zeus right; Reverse: Apollo standing slightly left, holding bow and rock. Despite its fairly rough nature, exhibiting the noted scratches and crude overall manufacture, this stands as an EXTREMELY RARE offering from a seldom seen city. A great opportunity for the specialist in Cretan issues.
